Popular Post John B Posted September 11, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) Completed this for my wife, only a week late for our anniversary. I did get her flowers and chocies on the day For her desk at school if anything could go wrong with this it did, even to the point of the cat getting in on the photos Radiata Pine and Jarrah E and heart inlaid.

OCtoolguy Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Beautiful work John. I just had to come back and add this comment. Your work is just fantastic and really built a fire underneath me to do better. My tissue boxes look amateurish compared to yours. I can see that you used hardwood instead of BB ply and that is where the difference lies. I am going to step up my game and try making some in the same way as you have here. Thanks for showing your work. I really appreciate your talent. Edited September 14, 2022 by OCtoolguy John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ray, The Pine is a soft wood and the Jarrah is a hard wood, no, a Bloody hard wood If I'm an inspiration, I am humbled and pleased. If I can help you out in any way, just ask. Thank you OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She also loves to do my typing for me wombatie, Gene Howe and FrankEV 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John B Posted September 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I have had quite a few comments re these at school. It's always the inlay that gets the "How do you do that". The answer, "It's a trade secret" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
