Popular Post Old Joe Posted February 24, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 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. new2woodwrk, Scrappile, dgman and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. scrollerpete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Johnson Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Fine cutting Joe. The steel wool does make a difference and you may in time think of an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 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.
