Brother in Law became 60
« on: February 09, 2014, 07:18:15 am »
Did made some presents for by brother in law, he became 60.
His name is Botte.
so made him a key-chain and a happy birthday project.
key-chain was made out of 1/2" beech bed bottom slats.
was to thick for the ring to get true.... (normally I use 3/8" and that's way better.)

The happy birthday was made from 1" thick radiate pine and 4x10" in size.
Dark grain in the middle looks like two pieces, but it's one piece.
wood is treated with some kind of vinegar for outside use.
(scrap wood from the new fence)

Didn't sand the wood, rough outside is modern in all kind of decorating shops.....
