scrollerpete Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 The bowl is a different pattern that I found during my travel, made of Black cherry, still have to apply the finish The welcome sign is a commission work, I have this slab of oak for awhile and decided that it will be a good choice for this, also have to apply the finish (2 to 3 coats of Tung oil). I'm pleased with the result so far. Pattern by Sue Mey. lawson56, Birchbark, New Guy and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Very nicely done Pete. I really like both but I like the bowl slightly more because of its unique shape. Thanks for sharing these with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Nicely done Pete, I love that welcome to the cabin one, the live edge on it looks terrific. I've never seen the spiral bowl pattern before now, it's a nice design. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Beautiful bowl and a unique design. The cabin reminds me of a family cabin. Both very well done Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Great work!Do you use tung oil often? I really like your cabin sign and would hate to see it harmed by a bad finish so, I hope you test the finish on a piece of scrap first. The reason I brought it up is because a friend of mine made a beautiful intarsia piece and parts of it turned really, really black when he applied tung oil. I don't know if that happens frequently and I have to make a disclaimer here that I have never used tung oil myself. I'm just trying to prevent any unfortunate mis-haps. Once again, great work on both of the pieces and that Welcome Cabin is fantastic! God Bless! Spirithorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirithorse Yes I use Tung oil and it turns out very nice, on a slab of oak it really brings the grain of the wood out and the more coats the more shine.

scrollerpete Posted November 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Thanks for the nice comments but might have to cut another sign. After I finished brushing one coat of Tung oil on it I decided to used a piece of thin wire to suspend it to dry, guess what, the bent wire straight itself out and the plaque fell on the cement floor, broke in 6 pieces (will not go into what came out of my mouth at that time) I thing it can be glue back, because the break was clean and the wood is oak. Will buy some instant wood clue and give it a shot if it does not work, will find another piece of wood and another 4 hours on the scroll saw will do it.

GPscroller Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 That is a tough break. Dropped a few projects in my time and luckily only broke a couple. Love the design and shape of the bowl, very striking and unique. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine the words that would have come out of my mouth should that happen! I am so sorry but I hope that you are able to put it back together again just like Humpty Dumpty. I agree,both are excellent projects but the cabin one just made me wish I had a cabin to hang it in. Thanks for sharing your photos and your heartbreak.
