Hair of the log

[Old Joe]

I made this Steve Good "relief" wood spirit a couple of weeks ago, but I was not crazy about the mustache area, as it just too big and too empty. I am planning on making another one with a few changes but I have been busy with other issues.Meanwhile I decided that too much work went into the piece to be so disappointed with an otherwise pleasing piece, so I came up with an easy fix. I stuffed some steel wool in both the mustache and eyebrows.

nice fix

[oldhudson]

It sure looks better with your addition. I'd be a bit concerned about it rusting?

[Scrollchaser]

I thought about the rust issue.I will leave this one inside unless I come up with a coating that would resist rust.

I think Steve just called it Wood Spirit. It is a relief pattern cut out of one 1” board. Not nominal, but a full inch.The outer portion of the cartoon, or ‘spirit’ is cut at about a 4 degree angle so it sits about 1/2” recessed of the board.

Great idea.

Fine cutting Joe. The steel wool does make a difference and you may in time think of an alternative.

Your on a roll,keep your work coming!!!!!

Nicely done Joe, and the steel wool was a great idea. You should send a picture of it with the steel wool in place to Steve, he probably would like to see it. Did you spray the steel wool to keep it from deteriorating, when I use it on a project I always spray it with hair spray.
