Denny Knappen Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 This project was finished on Monday, June 27th. The pattern is by Sheila Landry and purchased from her website. I used 1/2" Ash with nice grain. The blade used was FD UR #3. One coat of 50% BLO and one coat of spray Shellac. Comments welcome. Kevin Latimer, Fish, MTCowpoke22 and 4 others 7 Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 What a nice candle holder !....Love the finish ! Quote
bronx Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 You my friend are a scroll saw artist. Being a beginner it's always great when the artist explains what woods and finishes was used in their project so rookies like myself can get a feel for the craft. Thanks for sharing. Question.... what does BLO stand for....? Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks, Steve, the grain of the Ash really shows. Cliff, BLO stands for Boiled Linseed Oil. I use it with Mineral Spirits at 50%. Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted June 28, 2016 Report Posted June 28, 2016 Very nicely done Denny. I like Sheila's patterns. Love the wood used. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 28, 2016 Author Report Posted June 28, 2016 Thanks, DW. I wasn't sure about the Ash, but it does look good. Quote
Dave Monk Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 Nice cutting, The ash is really nice. Do you dip your project in the BLO or do you brush it on? dave Quote

rdatelle Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 Very nice Denny. I never used any ash. I'll have try and find some . I like the grain. Quote
wombatie Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 That looks great. It looks as if the letters have been written on the wood. Well done. Marg Quote
daveww1 Posted June 29, 2016 Report Posted June 29, 2016 beautiful tray/candle holder, excellent workmanship Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Posted June 29, 2016 Thanks all for the nice comments. Dave, this project was dipped. I have an old 9" pie tin and it works great for projects like this one. Kevin, this project was 1/2" Ash, so fairly easy to cut. Quote
Denny Knappen Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Posted June 29, 2016 Today, I received a comment from Sheila Landry. Always nice to have positive comments from the designer. Quote
