dgman Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 Personally, I don’t participate in these. Since you are making several of these projects, make several of each color. Lucky2, OCtoolguy and new2woodwrk 2 1 Quote
Scrappile Posted March 16, 2020 Report Posted March 16, 2020 Okay, I picked silver and green of the colors you posted, only because I associate them more with the Holiday Season. I would add red also.... OCtoolguy 1 Quote

I have no idea what colour each recipient would prefer, so I am going to pick one and only one colour for the base. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

new2woodwrk Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 I was thinking red also - why discard it? OCtoolguy 1 Quote

kywoodmaster Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 I like the green. Better contrast and more seasonal. OCtoolguy and Frank Pellow 1 1 Quote
Jim McDonald Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 I voted copper simply for the contrast. Makes the blue a touch more vibrant. OCtoolguy 1 Quote

Lucky2 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 Frank, what about using the sky, or a yellow the same as the stars? If it was me making them, I would use a darker or mid tone of wood like mahogany for the top layer, and paint the backer as it is now. Then if you wanted to, you could cut cheers or whatever you want at the bottom on the front layer. And if you do cut something out, paint that with a mid or lighter blue then the backer is.

Denny Knappen Posted March 17, 2020 Report Posted March 17, 2020 I personally like the look of wood. How about an overlay of a contrasting wood. Frank Pellow 1 Quote
Frank Pellow Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Posted March 18, 2020 OK, Copper won hands down, so that's what I will use. I thank everyone who helped me. Quote
