oldhudson Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Most of my posts are under Other Woodworks. But I do some scroll work so here's an example. This little project was meant to use cut-offs from a storage unit project that needed a home. I've always been a fan of the Wright's work and in browsing the internet I came across a image that looked like this. I copied it and used it for a pattern. Personal use only. As you can see I glued 6 pieces of stock (.625" cherry) together so I had enough width to make a trivet (6.125" square). It has a couple of spots where either the grain is working against me or the glue is giving up? Scrolling straight lines and all right angle corners was difficult for a amateur scoller like me. Problems aside I'm still pleased with the look. This is my first post since the big change-over. I hope the pics show up? No preview, I'll miss that. C & C welcome.

rjR Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I like it and FLW too. VERY NICE CUTTING! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow, that is different but I really like it. Such a pity about the little break. Perhaps you can insert a small block at the break point to hold it together? I don't think it would spoil the overall look.

Scrappile Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I really like this. Nice wood to use and looks very rich. The mending of the break should be fixable. CA glue from the back maybe or the fix Rob suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montserrat Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I love these trivets. You did a great job! I have seen many varieties of the FLW-inspired graphic designs. Wished there were purchasable patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Nice work Berry. Straight lines are the hardest to do. You didn't say what size blade you used but I would use a larger blade such as a #5 or larger. An old wise man (Mike, of Flying Dutchman fame) used to say: cutting a straight line is like driving a straight road, you have to move the wheel left and right to go straight. That comes to mind every time I cut straight lines. oldhudson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crupiea Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Great looking piece,. I love Frank Lloyd Wright too. I would just trim that broken part off. Not like its going to make a huge difference and no one will know,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
