To Cut or Not to Cut?

I have been working on these two wall pieces and the recycled wood on which I plan to mount them, when I began to think of another way to mount them than originally planned. I had intended to cut the large piece of wood in half and mount them on each piece of wood individually, but then I thought 'how about mounting the enameled pieces on one large piece of wood?'. I started thinking that one large wall piece might be kind a cool!

It was then suggested to me that I cut down the larger piece of wood and then mount the two pieces together on a smaller piece of wood, but I am not sure I like that idea? So, I am still wondering, should I mount them on the larger piece together or cut it in half and mount them as two separate wall pieces that will be sold as a set?

Cut either both on a smaller piece of wood (I like the uneven position) or cut seperately more conventional.
I think the pieces get a bit lost in the larger piece.

Definitely CUT! I think 2 pieces are better than one. :) The way you can display them is doubled. Vertically, horizontally, on opposite walls....etc...

Thanks Girls! I agree they get lost on the larger board. One is an extension of the other, which is why I considered mounting them on the larger piece. I like them being one higher than the other because it is the natural progression of the limbs reaching up to the other limbs. I would hope if I do them as two entirely separate, that is how they would be displayed.

Oh, and thanks for commenting on the blog. I have really been in need of some blog activity! :)
