Popular Post Scrolling Steve Posted February 3, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted February 3, 2019 This was in the latest( spring 2019, issue 74) SSW&C mag...Pattern by Al Baggetta. I cut this from 3/4 African Mahogany...finished with a 50/50 mix Blo and MS and some wipe on poly....I love the wood ,which was given to me by my brother in law ......The wood had been in storage for many years and is very hard.......I plan on doing several of these as gifts .... This one will be going to Fla. to the inlaws that gave me many board feet of the beautiful wood !.......Hope you like it , comments welcome, Steve. Scrappile, Falcon, jollyred and 14 others 17 Quote

Scrolling Steve Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Posted February 4, 2019 Thanks for the kind words ! Quote
orangeman Posted February 4, 2019 Report Posted February 4, 2019 Very nice Steve. I bet it is stunning in African mahogany! Did you sand the eyes at all to eliminate the sharp edges? I made one out of walnut and showed it to a friend. My sanding job wasn't too hot on the eyes so he took a 1/8" round over router bit to it and improved the appearance a lot. I'm off to Home Depot today to get the 1/8 bit! I'm going to make some for my next craft show. Can't decide on the pricing however. Any suggestions? bb Scrolling Steve 1 Quote

Any suggestions? bb Brian, I did bevel around the eyes with a small sanding drum to soften the edges.....do not have a router at the moment. Quote
amazingkevin Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 That's nice one!!! Scrolling Steve 1 Quote
heppnerguy Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 most pieces I like to do in a thinner wood but for this one, I think it is perfect. I would not bother fishing (pun intended) with any other wood or thickness. Nice piece. Dick heppnerguy Scrolling Steve 1 Quote
