Popular Post Tj Brown Posted April 28, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 My new color fill wolf. I made this one from some walnut that me and my best friend milled in 1998. The design for the wolf came from one of Judy Gale Roberts Fine Line Design fretwork books.

FrankEV Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) I like your work and this piece is very nice. However, at first view I lost the work as my eyes went directly to the LP's in the bacground. I know I'm being picky, as I have been with others, but why in the world would you photograph such a nice piece in front of a cluttered bacground like this. This forum is, IMHO, a place to proudly share "your work" with your piers and the photos used should do that. Again , in my opinion, the background should be very neautral and the photo cropped so the work is shown up-close for all to appreciate. If you are offended so be it, but once again, this is simply my opinion which I stand behind and make no apoligies.

It's not one that I plan on displaying. Like you, I make no apologies. If you don't like it, don't look at it.

Scrappile Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Nice picture, and I had never heard of JGR "Fine Lines Before Designs". I have spent a lot of time looking at her site and art and never seen it mentioned. Tj Brown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to notice anything but her intarsia. You should see it in person. She's the one that taught me how to do it.

flarud Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Looks good! I have been looking for just the right wolf pattern to make for my neighbor. This one could be the one. Looks like you have some old license plates displayed. My Dad had a bunch, wished I would have kept those. Gene Howe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj Brown Posted April 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Back when I was doing a lot more scrolling than I am now, some of my designs were featured in a few magazines now and then. Some of the readers saw a couple of old license plates on my wall in the photos that were in the articles that I wrote and started sending me old plates that they had. Now I have plates from every state and several other countries displayed in my shop. My oldest is a 1910 from Pennsylvania. When I have vistors stop by they always enjoy seeing them.
