My wife and I have made wooden pictures since the early 80's. We have over 80 different designs and have made prints from two of the patterns. She usually draws and paints and I assemble them. However, I have created and painted some of them as well. This particular creation is about 3 feet by 4 feet and used as a wall hanging.Dan Felstead

That's beautiful, Dan. Why are they called Martha's stars?
I seem to recall that Martha figured out how to create a 5 pointed star from a square piece of fabric using only one cut, and the folding of the fabric is key - like origami.
This is very nice work Dan!
J9...that is correct. The 5 pointed star was very popular during the revolutionary period...1700's. Martha's Stars was the name we gave it referring to that period of time. Dawn Treader...there is your answer! Thank you guys for the comments.

I can't imagine how much work goes in to making one of these out of wood!!
