Tdub4ever Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 Some mighty fine craftsmanship there DW! I like the reindeer a lot! Quote
amazingkevin Posted October 11, 2014 Report Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Great work, i'd love to see your bowl blanks before cutting. I've been wanting to glue up over 100 thin, long 3/32 strips to make a bowl blank to work from. will this be way to much glue to sand when that time comes. Just looking for pro's an con's before i tackle my first bowl,thanks,! the baby mini deer are outrageous! Edited October 11, 2014 by amazingkevin Quote

Just looking for pro's an con's before i tackle my first bowl,thanks,! the baby mini deer are outrageous! Kevin use just enough glue to coat both sides of the strip clamp them let them cure. It should not be much different than working with plywood. Clean as you go would be the key here I would think. The less glue outside of the joint the better. The reindeer are actually a fast seller at my November shows. Last year I sold 30 or so of them. They can be hung by their antlers and be tree ornaments. DW Quote
