Popular Post Fish Posted January 8, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 I don’t remember who did this here on SSV awhile ago. I found it again and did the pattern from a picture. The initials are both my wife and I. I used some bass wood my brother gave me. It’s really soft wood and doesn’t take much of the finish. I used 321. BLO semi gloss poly and mineral spirits. Thanks for looking. Scrappile, danny, RabidAlien and 17 others 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 I have some basswood slabs that I've been saving. Where can I find the pattern? Yours is beautiful and inspirational. Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Very beautiful work Dan. Yes the live edge adds that finishing touch. Fish and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Very well done! Beautiful overall. If you are not going to use a backer, I could visualize seeing the cutouts filled with a colored epoxy/resin like others have used and previously shown herein.

Charlie E Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 Oh wow! I love that! Is the pattern you made anything you could share? I'd love to steal your idea! I think I'd like to do my wife and my initials but use her maiden name initials and our marriage year below it.

rdatelle Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 I love that picture. Great job on that. I'm going to have to see if I can find some live edge wood.. I would love to try and make that with my late wife's initial and mine. Where can I get the pattern for that. Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdatelle Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Hi Dan, do you know where I can get this pattern and what size is your live edge piece. Thanks, Ralph Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarud Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Very cool. I wouldn't mind making one for my wife for Valentines Day,, but I'm feeling lazy and will just print your out and hand to her! LOL Live edge projects are the best.. I've made few myself.
