scrimper Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) This is what I have been cutting today, not finished properly yet, I have done 3 of these but using different woods, the next one has the main fretwork done in Mahogany with the surround in maple, sort of a negative to the one shown here. I can post a picture of that one if anyone is interested. It's made entirely from recycled timber bits and pieces, The main deer fret is Birch ply from some small off cuts I found in a skip, the outer frame is from a mahogany door frame, the 2 mini surrounds are maple from a kitchen top and the leaves are oak from an old set of drawers.

scrimper Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 This is the other one I mentioned.. not finished yet it has to be cleaned up and a couple of coats of water based varnish applied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrimper Posted December 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I am not sure about the little oak leaves at the bottom, they are aright if the item is stood on a shelf but hanging on a wall it might look better without them and I might chop them off!

wombatie Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 They are both very impressive but the top one is the better one to me, I like the darker color with the light worrd as sort of highlights, if you know what I mean.
