trackman Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) Thanks to Travis for making the pattern for this wall sign. The back story on the walnut is ** About 40 years ago my uncle took down his barn. Best he was told the barn was built around 1860. He was a woodworker an planed down a piece of rough saw board. Story short most of the inside boards was walnut. He sold a lot of them, made a lot of things an gave me a bunch. So I would guess the wood is around 300 years old. The grain is different than most you get now. Back when the barn was built they used what ever was on the farm.

FrankEV Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Very nice work, but sorry, that table cloth, or whatever it is, has to go! You should take pride in your work and not hide it with a background like that. Difficult to tell even what it is. A simple white poster board would be a much better background.

I do take pride in my work! I took that picture this AM in a hurry because it was going to be picked up soon. I had forgot I had a better picture taken yesterday. Hope it is better Edited September 16, 2020 by trackman TDpainter, Foxfold and FrankEV 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomanydogs Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 Beautiful wood and a beautiful piece. I love using wood where there is a history and the history is known. It makes the piece ever so much more special. RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
