rdatelle Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Nice Ron. The more I see of those the more I want to do one. I have about 8 pieces of live oak walnut but mine don't have that dark streak going through the middle. There all white like your edges.

I have about 8 pieces of live oak walnut but mine don't have that dark streak going through the middle. There all white like your edges. Thanks Ralph. I purchased the walnut through a local lumber yard and it’s sold by the whole board (6 - 10 board feet in length). I then cut it to the length I need. One side is planed smooth and the other is to but not completely smooth so when cutting the pattern it can sometimes be a challenge. I’m not sure where you purchased these but all I can suggest is to check with your local lumber yard if you haven’t already. rdatelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Very nice, it looks live you beveled/radiused the cut ends to “soften” the ends. If so, I really like that idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Beautiful! I like the way you did the end cut also. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 At first sight I was thinking. 'this is a little hard to see'. Immediately how this thought crossed my mind, I had another thought and it was, to make is look as if the fawn was hiding in natures shadows for it's protection. I am really not sure why you chose this particular piece of wood for this pattern as it is a little difficult to make out easily, but the cutting is of your usual high talent. Ron, I hope you do not see my remarks as criticizing your work, as I did not make the comment to be taken that way. I was just trying to reflect my observation to you.

Criticism is good and I thank you for your honest opinion for you are right. The wood is dark for this pattern and it didn’t turn out as I had expected. Thank you.
