jerry1939 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Great work. I first saw this type of "finish" in Mexico. Did some basement shelves like this. It seems that when selecting a board to purchase, the more knots the better. jerry OCtoolguy, SCROLLSAW703 and smitty0312 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Looks good. I hope you do not have to make many this year. Sounds tough but you get my thought. I too have used the torch method before. I was an electrician for over 40 years and in the early years we would get our wire on wooden wire spools. Back then they use to just throw them away. Now they recycle so there are not available any more. But they came in all sizes and I use to make outdoor furniture with them. I still have a small table with a chess board inset in it. Use of various ropes and burning with a torch really dressed them up. Thanks for showing. SCROLLSAW703 and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted December 22, 2017 Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Dan, that's a nice side job, it'll be good for a few extra dollars for blades or whatever. Len Edited December 24, 2017 by Lucky2 SCROLLSAW703 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCROLLSAW703 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 nice work! In my opinion, any work for a Nursing Home is a pay off!!! I make animals, cut different sayings for them to hang on their walls, & flowers for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
