Popular Post GusGustin Posted February 3, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) I drew the dog. I draw stuff, well, I draw a big mess then go to work with an eraser. BUT . I could NOT get the heart right. So - with the help of the community - we got the heart just right. The heart on this is cut from a 2" thick piece of clear redwood. Old stuff. Big stuff. The dog is cut out of 3/4" cedar - when I got done planing and stuff, it ended up at 3/4". Then .. it has a backer of 1/8" BB Ply painted black, and, attached (glued) to the back of the heart is another 1/8" BB Ply piece. This measures almost 16" long and 11 inches wide. All cut with mostly a #5 FD, the itty bitty places were cut with my trusty 2/0 FD. It's MINWAX Spar Urethane brushed on for the finish. The little letters spelling out BRODY were done in that BURL WALNUT I get locally. I love that stuff. With the left overs from the piece I cut the letters from .. I made that Rose for my wife's birthday. So - that worked great. I think that's it. Except .. a big thanks to the community for helping me with that DANGED heart !!!

GusGustin Posted February 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 Oh .. the rose was cut from the 1/2" walnut . .. . all with a 2/0 Pegas. I was actually trying to break it .. as I was using the same one I used on BRODY's small cuts. It finally broke near the end of this. hahahahahaa .. it was SOOOOOO dull by that point. hahahhaa Ken Lotts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Lotts Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Great looking! I can hardly believe you tackled the rose with a single used 2/0. I get too worried about unexpected flaws and having to start over again to try to economize on blades. GusGustin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
