Scrolling Steve Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 A good friend and co-worker that passed away a couple of years back had saved cypress strips and other wood strips from a boat project he had worked on...his wife asked if i could use any and i took a few not really knowing how i might use them....I glued them up and ripped them down on the table saw to the 11/2 size i needed and cut about a dozen of these guys....I have given half of them to my friends wife for their family......Finished in BLO and Min. sprits and a couple of coats of clear poly....D. Thompson patterns.......I think they turned out OK, A little different. neptun, Fab4, New Guy and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 Steve, those are just beautiful. I know your former co-worker's wife and family appreciate your time and effort to make these from his boat making scraps. They are a treasure for them I am sure. Very kind of you. Thanks for showing.

wombatie Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 They look great and what a lovely tribute to your friend to give his family back some of the wood given to you, they would certainly have appreciated the thought. Great work my friend. Marg Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McDonald Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 I gave a lot of thought to doing a glue up when I was doing my birdhouses. I may have to go back and do that option. Good looking designs. Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
