FrankEV Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I think the tray is absolutly fantastic. Beautiful!!! Would love to see some close up pic's and maybe give us some details like who's Pattern, wood thickness, blades used, etc. We love details. I use rattle can spray Lacquer on most of my panels. Yes, the fumes can get to you and actually give you a little buzz. Need to have good ventilation and wear a mask. But I do like the fine durable finish you can get with Lacquer and the fact it enhances the natural wood color and will not darken. And, it drys fast, alllowing ease of applying multiple coats with just very light sanding in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldmansbike Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Here are some more pics. I used Pegas #5 MG blades. It’s a Wildwood pattern I bought probably 20 years ago and the wood is 5/8 thick. The bottom photo is a full sized 3/4 walnut one I made years ago but it’s so heavy. I reduced the pattern size to 80% and reduced the thickness to 5/8 on the cherry one. It’s not near as heavy. Sorry about the pictures my photo skills are lacking.

Oldmansbike Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 I was wrong on the pattern. It was from The Berry Basket instead of Wildwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Really great looking basket. If possible, I spray outside or in the garage, but drying inside still has odor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 That's beautiful. I love that the handles are hearts. The wood is gorgeous. Great piece! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Beautiful work Dale! As soon as I saw it, I knew it was a Berry Basket Pattern. You did a real nice job. My shop is my garage. I always have the garage door open when I spray lacquer.wearing a respirator is mandatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
