Wood Spirit

[Old Joe]

This is from a recent Steve Good pattern. It is made from one board, with the figure's outer perimeter cut with the table set at about a 3 1/2 degree.That allows the wood spirit to protrude a little over half way through from the back. I like the idea, but if I were to make another one I would redesign the mouth/mustache area, as I think it looks too big. On this project I used stains,rather than my normal oils, to try to make the backboard look like barn wood and the have the wood spirit contrast by being lighter. 

I have very recently built out a new shop and I'm just getting started making sawdust again. I hope to be a bit more active on this site.

I was  hoping someone would cut this piece. I saw it on Steve's page and thought it might be a fun one to mess with. It sure turned out nice. Like the staining on the backer board. A perfect Idea for it

Like I said, I would recommend you change the mouth area.

I like it' Love the wood you used. Your right about the mustache. I think a little smaller would look better but it looks good that way to.

Ralph, a cabinetmaker friend had a couple of actual 1 inch cedar boards in his trash pile. I am a shameless scavenger.
