LarryEA Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 OK Steve. You can't just show those and say,' Look what I did. ' What wood did you use? Are they your own patterns? How thick? Can you shave with the Bowie knife Super nice looking, good job. New Guy and Steve Curtis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Curtis Posted May 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 OK Larry, Sorry about that. These are made of solid Poplar I used oak stain and 3 coats of Deft clear coat. The photo is with just the stain on it. The pattern was made by Sue May. I got them out of Scrollsaw Woodworking and crafts.
