Title: Mother's Day Gift
Post by: Mainewoods on May 11, 2012, 02:39:53 pm

Stack cut 2.  One for Mom, one for MIL.  Frames are 1/4" Mahogany with 1/8" Mahogany overlays and backings.  Danish oil bath with semigloss lacquer on top.  Pattern is from Rick Hutcheson, although turnbuttons on back are from Shiela Landry!  Difference in wood color I believe is due to age, as the wood for the overlays came from my FIL,  after he'd had it for years.  Hope you like!

Glen I see a Outstanding job on Everything.  Just wondering was them hinge screws small enough for the 1/4" wood?  Love the pattern....  Danny  :+}

Thanks everybody!  They were oooh'd and aaah'd over on both counts.  Absolutely the best feeling when you see someone's eyes light up over something you made for them!  ;)

@Danny --- The screws for those hinges were too long (3/8") for the 1/4" wood, however, simply snipping them in half with a pair of side cutters took care of that.  Still left enough thread on the shaft of the screw to hold firmly, and I pre-drilled the holes, so I didn't need a point on the screws anyway!

 :D There are a LOTf people that have no idea what a side cutter is.  Great idea.  I have usually just sanded down screws that were to long.
