heppnerguy Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) this is the first of 3 of these Wine display pieces that I am making as secondary Christmas gifts. An interesting and a little challenging for me but also a learning experience. I thought it was kind of a pretty piece and I purchased it from Berry Basket. I have found several patterns that I am going to be purchasing from them. I am just going to spray a non gloss finish on it. reposted a couple of sections down got the photos on there now sorry for the boo boo Dick heppnerguy Edited November 15, 2014 by heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 I guess I won't open the bottle until I see the whites of your eyes on my front porch Dick Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Darn, Dick, that made me just go order that pattern. I live in the heart of a big wine area in Washington, I'm sure I can find someone that likes it, if I can do anywhere near as nice a job as you did.

heppnerguy Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I know you will probably do an even better job than I. It is just one hole at a time. be sure and check the thickness of your wood and compare it with the slots, before you cut the slots. It took about 5 hours for me to cut it but I did not stack cut it, as i will do for the next one I make. Hope this helps some. It is not a difficult piece to cut but it is a pretty good ornate piece when you finish it. email if you have any questions. Love to see the results of your work.

rjR Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Well, Dick, on your next trip this way; we may have to try to see if one of my growler haulers can handle enough for both of us at once! I actually have a 4 carrier; should make it! I mam a lightweight at that part. Seriously; NICE Work-- way past my patience and skills!

heppnerguy Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Ralph, This project is not passed your skills as it is one hole at a time.. keeping that in mind it is just how much time you want to put into something. Patience you have, as I have seen some of your work and that should not be a problem. it is just saying that piece would be worth my time and you will find you can do it Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 They are going to be well received Dick, they are beautiful and very well cut. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
