Brag Forum / Moose finished

« on: February 18, 2014, 09:57:44 am »

I liked the moose that DW and danny made earlier, so I made my own one.  here are some pictures. It's made from Iroko with pine for the antlers. It was cut mainly with an FD UR #5 blade and an FD UR #1 blade for the ears & tail. It has been finished with 2 coats of celulose sanding sealer followed by 2 coats of spray lacquer.

Hope you like it.

Here is the valentines day storm from a different angle. I didn't realise it before, but the waves that you see are actually coming up a little stream that runs down to the sea.

Looks great!
is it with meat or sweet??

Marcel, they are made with meat and veg, the original ones were taken down the mines by the miners, they were divided into 2 sections inside the pasty. The first side was the meat and veg, and the other side was usually a fruit with custard. The miners held them by the extra large crust around one side and ate the meat side first then the fruity side before throwing the crust away. There was nowhere to wash hands down the mines so the idea was a crust to hols on to, so the rest didn't get dirty. Here is a little about them and the recipe.
