A Gentle Ocean Swell .. and Whales!
-
Hi Folks, I haven’t be around for awhile (self imposed exile), but I wanted to post this picket fence and arbor design for my old Sup friends to see!
Not my grandest project but sure was a lot of fun, and one of my most unique yet, using SketchUp to design an ocean swell and whales
This is located a few blocks from San Diego Harbor hence the nautical theme.
can you see the Whales?
(excuse the weird sky above, had a lot of power lines to remove)

Very nice!
-
Love it !
-
Well done. I really liked the idea
-
I just love it when I see someone spend the time to create this level of detail. It also looks like it really fits the house. Great work.
As opposed to the neighbors...

Ahoy! These be Grey Whales matey! (actually sperm whales painted grey
I created the whales in SUp, then exported a dxf and had my CNC shop guy cut me two templates (one of the whale's body, one for the whale tail outline) then cut them using a router. I glued up two pieces of vertical grain western red cedar to make nice stable rafter blanks.
I have a few more pics here for you to check out, let me know what you think
of using SUp to design whales
