Old Joe Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have had a busy summer and have not spent much time online. I have been building out my new shop/studio, but have still been doing a fair amount of scrolling, and just did two takes on Alex Fox’s C15 basket. I used 1/4” Baltic Birch, #1 FD Ultra Reverse blades. I oiled one in Natural Danish and the other one in Medium Walnut Danish oil. In the pics I light the lighter one, but in person I like the walnut better. If I do another one I might alternate the colors on each layer.I also bought some of Steve Goods signature coins and used them for the first time. The coins are 1/8” thick and I use two Forstner Bits.have made one sacrificial Forstner bit by removing the point. I start the hole with a regular bit to center it, then finish it with the sacrificial bit to just over 1/8” so as not to drill through the wood. bobscroll, Charlie E, frankorona and 4 others 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Joe Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I have been stack cutting Steve Goods latest bowl/basket three at a time. The Fox patterns are really thin is a few places. I don't think I could pull that off with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 I love your experimenting with the different colored finishes. It adds so much variety with no really extra expense or time involved. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Beautiful job. I made all his bowls but can't see good enough to get them aligned like they are supposed to be so they sit on the shelve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexfox Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Agree, some of my patterns have fragile areas, and it is difficult to make stack cut, but the result is worth it Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
