Abstract
A bas-relief is formed on a wooden panel, such as a furniture panel, by using a MYLAR.RTM. stencil having the outline of a design forming the bas-relief and a rubber stamp having a negative of the relief incorporating depth and textural features of the design. The MYLAR.RTM. stencil is laid over the panel and spackle is applied over the stencil to form a spackle layer having the outline of the design. The spackle layer is then embossed with the rubber stamp to provide details of depth in the spackle layer and thus form the bas-relief. The bas-relief is then allowed to dry, is painted or glazed and is covered with a layer of varnish.
