The first time I tried making the tiger cane, I failed. The above photo is what is is supposed to look like and the below photos are from the failed cane.

No resemblance to a tiger cane. I tried to salvage something from all that work.

I turned the failed cane on its side and cut it with a wavy blade. The first cut looked like 6 bearded singers to me so I poked the holes, textured it, inlaid the faux turquoise and baked it. .jpg)
The next few cuts were not fragmented, but full slices. To me, they looked like wood cut on a lathe. .jpg)
If nothing else, I thought I would use them in a tile collage. So, I baked them and put them in with the rest of the stored tiles.
I really wanted that tiger cane; I was determined to give it another try. After figuring out that I over blended the Skinner blend and lost too much of the light beige, I tried it again and succeeded. Yay.
