Denny Knappen Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 This is one of five patterns by Sue Mey found in SWWC Spring 2017 issue #66. I cut this from Northern White Cedar. It is four compound cut pieces glued together to make one piece. It is approximately 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 4 1/2". I used FD Polar #9 blades, one coat 50% BLO and one coat spray Polyurethane. All I need now is an Air Plant. Comments welcome. lawson56, Scrolling Steve, Lucky2 and 3 others 6 Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 Nicely done Denny. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote
Denny Knappen Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks, DW. That Northern White Cedar was sure soft. Quote
Scrappile Posted January 31, 2017 Report Posted January 31, 2017 Glad you posted this. I did the Hamsa box from that issue and the plant holders were the other item I have been eyeing. You did a great job and have made me more sure I want to try them in the near future. Quote
Denny Knappen Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks, Paul. Each piece needs to be 1 7/8" square and however long, so be sure and use a fairly soft wood. I had to do some sanding to get them to line up. Quote
wombatie Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 Very nice Denny. Well done. Marg Quote

Denny Knappen Posted February 1, 2017 Author Report Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks for all the nice comments. This was my first multi compound project. Quote
rdatelle Posted February 1, 2017 Report Posted February 1, 2017 Denny, that came out great. I saw those patterns on Sue Meys site. Almost got them. I was going to make them for Xmas. I didn't know you had to cut 4 pieces and glue them together. I think Amazon had some deals on air plants. Quote
penquin Posted February 2, 2017 Report Posted February 2, 2017 Like them they look great. Nice work on the cutting and fitting them up. jim penquin Quote
