Foxfold Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I love the Red myself, I think it goes so well with the inlay pieces. JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Jim, I agree with Brenda, red goes well with the inlays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Nice work. As far as color for the flocking, I think it really depends on several factors. For me, I decide based on the coloring of the overall project so in this case, I think the red ties in with the overall look of the wood.

Hudson River Rick Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Great job Jim, the flocking really formalizes the boxes and I think any color would look really nice. Can you explain how you do the corners please? Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first ones I did were rounded, but I found during sanding I had trouble keeping and equal radius for all 4 corners so I went to mitered corners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Especially if the wife finds out about the girlfriend. ) Hmmm, after some thought no that can't happen. It took me three tries to find a girl friend who also believes that being married does not stop the boyfriend girlfriend relationship. The responsible side of her (wife) likes the red, but the wild wonderful women I met likes the green. It's kind of like the words nude and naked that people think mean the same. Nude means no clothes, but naked means no clothes with a teasin' pleasin' attitude meflick and bobscroll 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 I think I like the red also with the type of wood you used with it. Of course green looks good to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
