Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 I was able to tackle another of Jim Blume's Americana series, this being Americana 2, Grandpa's Boot. It's cut into 1/4-inch Maple stained with Minwax Natural and has a 1/4-inch Pine backer painted black. The frame is custom cut Pine and stained with Minwax Ipswich. I thought it was neat that the grain in the frame met at three of the corners. The other two welcome signs are from Steve Good and cut from 1/4-inch Maple with a Lauan backer painted black. The Maple was stained with Minwax Espresso. All the pieces have multiple coats of Polyacrylic with light sanding with 500 grit paper between coats. I have a craft show in August and it is to be at a dog training facility. I expect there will be a lot of dog lovers coming through... hence the dog welcome signs and other dog pieces I've made recently. barb.j.enders, FrankEV, Roberta Moreton and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 They all look pretty good to Me. The middle one looks like a license plate frame. It might sell pretty good. Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted July 31, 2023 Report Share Posted July 31, 2023 Three fun and delightful projects. Well done. The first one tells sort of a story in itself. Dick heppnerguy Dak0ta52 and danny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamieline Posted August 1, 2023 Report Share Posted August 1, 2023 I also did the boot/flower. I like what you did with the frame with the space between the frame. Great work. Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
