Popular Post Rockytime Posted August 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 (edited) Pattern by Travis. cut from unusual 1/8" BB. I purchased this BB several weeks ago from Paxton Lumber. I can't use a telephone so my daughter ordered it for me based on instructions I had written down. We picked it up. I remained in the vehicle while it was loaded into the back. I did not see it until arriving home. It is beautiful but surprise, it has a plastic laminate on both sides. They had cut the 5X5 sheets in half so I could not return. It's ok though. The stuff is beautiful. Went back this week and picked up the regular BB. Anyway, after all that explanation, I did cut Travis's pattern from the coated BB. Nice thing, it requires no finishing. Project is about 10 inches wide, I think. #1 Pike blade. Cut without a backer. No fuzzies on the back due to the coating. Whew, that's all folks. Oh yeah, I know the grain should run horizontal but this was the size of scrap that I had.

Dragonkort Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 i agree with everyone else its simply beautyful!!!! and i didnt know there was a certin way the grain of the wood was suppose to go either....none of my books say anything about how the grain of the wood should run....i v never really thought about it, i just put the pattern on the wood the way it fits best and so that i can get the most patterns on it....huumm Rockytime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
