Popular Post Rolf Posted January 12, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) Huge thank you to Frank EV!! I saw this Frank EV. design and new that I had to cut it. I absolutely love it. It is cut from 3/4 maple and the base is black walnut. Pegas MGT 1 and cut the base at 10 degrees. I did some shaping like I was doing Intarsia. For the internal shaping I used a Rampower hand piece with assorted burrs and small sanding drums. Pegas MGT 1 and cut the base at 10 degrees. Two coats of Danish oil and then a couple of coats satin wipe on poly just to add some highlights. This is the darkest black walnut I have ever seen. From a neighbors tree.

Dak0ta52 Posted January 12, 2022 Report Share Posted January 12, 2022 Beautiful piece Rolf. I'll most likely cut this in the future but am certain it won't turn out as nice as your piece. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am setup for serious Intarsia shaping so it doesn't take that much extra time. the smaller areas do take time.

FrankEV Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Rolf, You did the pattern proud!!! It is wonderful to see someone elses take on a pattern I made available. Very nicely done. I do like the bevel on the base. Adds a little bit more class to the overall piece. Your original post would have been more appropriate in "Bragging Rights". A project to really brag about! Edited January 13, 2022 by FrankEV Jim Blume, John E. and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
