country girl Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) I am pretty happy with this piece, except for the finish needs a little work. I think next time i will finish before i glue together. I learned a lot on this one. Thought it was going to be perfect. Oh well. [attachment=34131:4th piece.jpscroll down I will try to subnit it again from my phone Edited August 18, 2016 by country girl lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I would be pretty happy with the results also Theresa, it looks fantastic. Finishing before gluing something togeher, can create as many problems as it solves. Yes it makes things easier to finish, but, it also makes things harder to glue together. It's a balancing act, sometimes there's no easy way to do things. Those are the times you have to get inventive, you use odd things to help with the luing process. I've used needles and pieces of wire, toothpicks and numerous other items to help with the gluing process. Len GPscroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the mistake of using steel wool and not cleaning it good enough between coats. Thanks for the compliment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkey Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I couldn't get the picture to enlarge either. From what I could see from the small picture you did a fine job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 I am on my iPad so I thought that might be why I was having problem getting the photo to open to see. At least on the pad, I could still sort of zoom in but hard to still see the project since its so small. I will try again tomorrow from my computer. From what I can see, it looks good Theresa. Just remember, we learn from each piece that we do. You are doing great only 4 pieces in. Don't be too hard on yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPscroller Posted August 18, 2016 Report Share Posted August 18, 2016 Same as others, couldn't open. I agree with Len, finishing before glueing is opening a whole new can of worms. We are all our own worst critics, so be happy and PROUD of what you have created Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
