How do you put together a driftwood sculpture?

My dad would use metal pins glued in place with 2/part epoxy glue. Drill holes directly opposite from where you want to join 2 pieces, usually 1/4" to 3/8" bit. then cut a heavy gauge wire or metal rods the size of the hole you drilled any where form 1.5" to 3" long, glue 1 half in first, when set up put the glue in other half and join the second piece on top. Sometimes it possible to use one long rod and add the pieces starting from bottom to the top.

Between the choice of the hot-glue gun and duck tape, I don't think there isn't anything that I can't join. You may want to consider using plastic mesh fence for basic shape of the body, which will be covered with the attached drift wood. To hold the shape of the body use rebar tie wire. These are all inexpensive methods to creating forms and shapes.

I think Sharon's Dad has the right idea. Consider the real adventure which is locating all that perfect drift wood, then imagining it in place long before starting any sort of assembly. Great photo!

Wood glue

Also... I wish the pic was mine, this is what I want to create! I got the it on Pintrest! Be blessed!

Wow what a coincidence. But sorry my dad passed away and I have given all but a few pieces away to friends.

Love Love your heron, wow your talented.... expect to see these on Bay Street in a gallery soon for sale.

How about Liquid Nails? At Lowes or Home Depot.

Here in Tasmania we have huge lakes full of driftwood, I started my woodcraft business using the driftwood. I've been wanting to go back into wood craft, so seeing these amazing sculptures has given me some great ideas.
