Intarsia / schnauzer

« on: November 25, 2013, 02:02:48 am »

Wife commissioned me to make this one as a gift for her Sister, whose beloved Schnauzer passed on this past year.  Unfortunatly, I had to use stains to get the colors required, and I was not overly happy about the way the stains took to the wood.  I doubt that I will ever use Rustoleum stains again.
Pattern by Bruce Worthington,  I used Aspen, Walnut, and cherry  Dog is about 8 x 9 inches

Love it! My team.  Beware of the trademark police.

Not really worried about them at all.  It was not made for selling.  It was a gift only.  Trademark laws prohibit sales and profiting,  I am not doing either one.

Brag Forum / First attempt at bowl making

« on: November 03, 2013, 07:09:52 pm »

This was my first attempt, and I made some errors mostly in the layout.  I glued 7 pieces of wood together and should have centered the pattern.  I was off by a bit but that's ok on this one,  its for myself.

 

Oak  Poplar, and Aromatic Cedar

 

Design is by Steve Good, and I enlarged it.

I made these by stack cutting.  One for a friend, and one for me.  Letters were cut out individually and painted before attaching.

Tomorrow we will celebrate my wife's granddaughters sixteenth birthday.  In honor of this occasion, I made some sawdust this morning.  This is a Steve Good Pattern, easy to cut, and I think she will like it.

This is a Judy Gale Roberts pattern.  I used different shades of Poplar, and some Walnut.  Used Leather dye on the shadow as I didn't have any wood that was dark enough.

By the way, Anyone going to Judy's Open House on the 26th of this month in Tennessee? I plan to attend and hopefully get a better idea of what I should be striving for.
