Colour explosion.

[Paul hd]

Hi All.

I bought a cheap table saw this week as I want to start having nice square edges to my boards, also it will help in putting a simple border around my scroll saw patterns. I also wanted to try out the rest of the Chestnut stains and so here are the results. 😄

 

After cutting the ply to the correct size I then adjusted the blade so it would cut a recess and ran the board over the saw. I then coloured in the grooves.

 

 

The pattern is from Steve Good and the original is in a oval shape. I went with a square shape so I could add my own border.

 

 

Cut a backer board, then placed the pattern on top and then marked with a pencil. I then started adding the stain.

 

 

I used all the colours except white. 😋😀

 

 

This was a enjoyable project. The stains are great to work with and a cheap way to find out what colours you prefer. My problem is I like all of them. 😜😀ðŸ‘

 

 

All the best

Thanks all for the comments. ðŸ‘

 

Hi Bob.

You can get them on line from a few places. I bought mine from Axminster, I think they cost £16 for 9 trial bottles.

I will get the wood colour trial pack next so I can find my favourite shade.

 

Cheers

Love it! Is the pattern available? Looking for a supplier of the sample pack in the U.S. But haven't found one yet.

That is different and very effective.  Great cutting too.

 

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lorenzo.

Here is a link to the Steve good patterns. If you type in the search box, Butterfly plaque http://www.stevedgood.com/catalog/

 

At the bottom of this link there are two chestnut dealers in the U.S. Hope that may help.

Paul that is really neat,I cut that same piece and thought it was very good so did the wife, but yours is fantastic

Hello Merlin.

Thanks mate.👠I agree. It's a real nice pattern to cut.

[Falcon]

You did a great job on that love the colors!

[DWSUDEKUM]

Paul great decision.  I have been thinking of doing this very thing.  My major problem is that I do not have the room for the saw.  Love the fact that you now have the ability to do some interesting things.  Having a table saw and a good imagination you can do a whole lot of interesting things.  Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Yes great looking project but how did you stain the bottom of the grooves and not touch the sides?

Are they water based?

[wombatie]

WOW.  That really pops, everything about it is great.  Very impressive border. :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Hi Kevin.

Used a brush slightly narrower than the groove and a steady hand. Its actually easier than I thought it would be, as soon as the brush touches the bottom of the groove the stain just gets wicked up by the ply.

 

 

Are they water based?

The label says spirit stain so I assume it's spirit based.

Thank you all for the great comments. ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

My goodness what a super idea for a frame outline. Paul that is one great idea.  Thanks for not only sharing it but showing us what it looks like with a cutting done and using it.  Great work.
