Hello everybody,

My last job,
I found this model from Steve Good and
motorcycling is another of my hobbies so i tried to cut this model but i don't like plywood.

Great looking book-ends!  Thanks for sharing it!

Very nice, Eric. I'm not big on plywood when the edges are displayed but they do make a veneer that you can apply. I do prefer cutting plywood. With solid wood, expecially pine, the blade has a tendency to follow the grain if you're not careful.

They look nice

But the slice of rock (geode?) looks great too.

Very NIce.   I ride an MC also, but not a chopper.  Mine is a full dress HD Street Glide Special.

Any solid wood would have been better than plywood.  I know you are "over there" but I think you must have places like we have here (Lowes and Home Depot) which are the modern day substitutes for the old fashioned "Lumber Yards".  They usually have solid wood like Pine (which I would not use), Poplar and Oak at a minimum.  Poplar is a good substitute as it cuts nicely and can be finished well also.

Awesome looking Bookends. Some thin wood strips would take care of the plywood

Thank you Franck,
I have a 2004 BMW K1200GT.
I'm lucky, near here I have a carpentry workshop that gives me scrap metal for nothing.
I'll go see if he has something else

thanks for your advices
it is true that the finish can be better
