Popular Post Frank Pellow Posted August 16, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) My grandson Ethan (16) and I will setting out on Friday to Pellow's Island for a two week holiday. While we are at the island, we will be doing LOTS of fishing. I made this item: to surprise Ethan once we get to our cabin. The pattern is by Steve Good. I printed the pattern at 130% then cut it using 6mm thick Baltic birch plywood with (mostly) a Flying Dutchman reverse tooth #1 blade. Then, I stained parts of it using Saman water based stain. Before staining, I carved a small barrier between stained and unstained regions: After staining, the whole thing received two coats of clear gloss rattle can urethane.

rdatelle Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 Great job on that Frank. I like the way you stained that. I was wondering how you got the stain not top bleed into the rest of the wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I attempted to show in the second photo, I carved a small grove at the edges between the sections that were to be stained and those that were not to be stained or to be stained a different colour..
