RabidAlien Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 (edited) Not your standard dolphins, mind you....part of a Steve Good pattern (printed at 150% enlargement, using the "poster" option in Adobe Acrobat Reader's print window), these are submarine qualification dolphins, 6 years of living hell and a daily-renewed appreciation for Mountain Dew, strong coffee, Excedrin, and Motrin 800. Cut out of 1" pine, finished in Minwax's Provincial. These'll end up hanging over my desk at work. Still not sure if I'll make a plaque to back them or not....subs are pretty no-frills places to conduct sneakiness and shenanigans (not necessarily in that particular order), I think they'll do just fine standing on their own. Plus, being 1" thick, they'd look funny sticking out of a plaque. Already had a request for another set from another submariner, I'll do that one out of 1/2" ply, double-stacked for an extra set. This was a fun cut, but the final sanding left a lot to be desired.

Rockytime Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Very nice cutting. Looks impressive! I don't even like large water unless I have a life vest and I'm fishing. RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 Nice job on that! Although I spent a lot of time under houses on my job I think a sub would make me claustrophobic.
