Bass oar
« on: March 06, 2012, 08:22:45 pm »
Here are two pieces I just got done.  The first is a oar made of different types of soft wood with a bass cut in it.  The second one is a piece of walnut slab wood 7/8's inch thick  and is 6 inches at the top going down to 12 inches at the bottom.  I inserted a clock on the top an I cut an eagle at the bottom.  The third picture is the eagle being that it is to hard to see in the main picture.  It just told me it is to big a file so I will do it in two postings.

Very nice, It is a little hard to see the Eagle but that sure is a beautiful slab of Walnut.

Don't you lose propulsion with the beautiful cuts in the Oar?

Very nice work, thanks for sharing the photos with us.

Great work. Difficult to see the eagle at first, but nice projects.
