Docupton Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 My customer sat with me for an hour discussing what she wanted (and drinking my tea), after a google image search she settled on a design, and she wanted to supply her own wood, a piece of old chip board. I showed her what wood I had but she insisted on hers, it would look rustic she said, she was not kidding. Not a pretty sight and it cuts like a stale biscuit, she still had it, though I think the smile was definitely fake, I am expecting another call later in the week..... lawson56, Doug and amazingkevin 3 Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 OMG Doc, I think that would look good with the leaves painted with the different levels of broken chipboard. Roly Docupton 1 Quote
Bendita Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 I think it is absolutely gorgeous, a lot of times we forget that beauty is in the eye of the beholder as much as we would prefer to use our taste of wood fiber, your customer has another vision. But in the end the customer is always right, he who has the gold makes the rules. Docupton 1 Quote

Docupton Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Posted October 19, 2014 I suppose you are all right, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but if that's the case I must have looked really handsome to her...... wombatie, bobscroll, Phantom Scroller and 2 others 5 Quote

DWSUDEKUM Posted October 19, 2014 Report Posted October 19, 2014 Personally I see nothing wrong with that piece. It fits the theme of the work quite well I think. Interesting concept and well done Doc. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Docupton 1 Quote
Fish Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 I see nothing wrong with it either, looks great. Docupton 1 Quote
Fab4 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 What's up Doc: It can't get any rustickier ( is this a word???) than that. I don't think it looks bad. It's different that's for sure I'll bet you that if she does call you back later in the week it will be to order a few more Fab4 Docupton 1 Quote
LarryEA Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 You did a great job cutting. It's unique and a one-of-a-kind. Looks good with a finish. Docupton 1 Quote
amazingkevin Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 A thought would be to cut out a clear plastic 1/16" thick flexible the shape of your pattern and place it on the wood and move it around to capture the best look with random chip board designs. I like the results you got as it makes me focus on the irregularities of the wood chips. I 'm going to find me some now. Nicely done project.I've passed up plenty of chip board , but no more , endless ideas now! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: Docupton 1 Quote
lawson56 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 Well for the wood you had to use it looks Fantastic! You did an Awesome job. :thumbs: Docupton 1 Quote

amazingkevin Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Doc, I had to put-on your merry Christmas to keep the wheels turning with this chip board idea. It's now in front of me at the computer till I come up with what to do with the chipboard! Thanks again! Docupton 1 Quote
Docupton Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Posted October 23, 2014 You will think of something Kev, how about a Christmas wreath... Quote
ike Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 Keven a wreath in the garage would look good. Quote
keefie Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 I think it looks brilliant, and well cut too. I know from past experience that chipboard is not the best material to work with on a scroll saw. Docupton 1 Quote
NC Scroller Posted October 23, 2014 Report Posted October 23, 2014 That is the prettiest piece of OSB I have seen. Docupton 1 Quote
wombatie Posted October 24, 2014 Report Posted October 24, 2014 It certainly looks rustic. And yes the customer is always right. Has she been back yet? Marg Docupton 1 Quote
Docupton Posted October 24, 2014 Author Report Posted October 24, 2014 Not been back yet, maybe too embarrassed Quote
