Denny Knappen Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 During this time of isolation, I finished 4 Miniature Birdhouses. The patterns are by Diana Thompson. The birdhouses are made from Ash and the little birds from Purpleheart. Scrappile, Rolf, new2woodwrk and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollingforsanity Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 I really like those Denny. Which pattern book did you find those in. I looked up her patterns but she has more than one book. A bit expensive so I didn't want to get the wrong one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bourbon, brandy, or scotch would discolor the shellac. Unless of course, one would want to tint the shellac. Hmmmm. Too bad it's only 9:30 AM here, otherwise I'd have me a shot and ponder clear or brown alcohol. scrollingforsanity and Scrappile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might check the internet for issues. I also found out that scrolleronline lists some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollingforsanity Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 John if you go to WWW.scrolleronline.com and hit the 3D projects then hit all on the left side the birdhouse ornament patterns are there. I didn't search them all but there were a couple different sets that I saw. I believe they are the same ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
