Eplfan2011 Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 This was something I started earlier in the year before I stopped for the summer. Unfortunately I can't credit the designer as my old computer died and I don't have the files anymore. There's lots of delamination happening and I kind of struggled with this a lot since starting and have to blame the poor quality batch of BB I bought, there's not a lot left and I'll be looking for a new supplier to buy another batch from soon that said it is what it is. There wasn't a lot left to cut so I decided to finish it off. I don't know if it's worth trying to sand it and clean it up a bit but Ill throw it on the finishing pile. crupiea, Dan, Wichman and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 You may want to try painting with water color. That will hide a lot of the delamination. I've done that on some of my pieces. I've stopped buying Birch from box stores. Their Birch isn't Baltic Birch and has voids as well as a thin veneer which causes it to delaminate. I purchased some Baltic Birch from Ocooch Hardwood and haven't had a problem with a single piece. By the way, you piece looks good to me.

Thanks I did think about painting it, I do have some acrylic that paints similar to water color. I've been wanting to try it out after I saw your tractor cutting 6 months ago, but summer happened ! I bought the BB sight unseen from Amazon. It was advertised as grade A BB but it has a very thin face layer, unfortunately that's the problem but I've found no voids.

ChelCass Posted October 10, 2023 Report Share Posted October 10, 2023 I'm going to take a wild guess and say that might be a H. Botas pattern. It sure looks like his style. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted October 12, 2023 Report Share Posted October 12, 2023 We all get ply like that every now and again and don't know what to do with a cutting when we're finished, but you did a great job. By the way, welcome back. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eplfan2011 Posted October 13, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Not sure what I think about this? Colors are what I have, so..... Water color may have been better but I only had acrylic. Still have a backer to make, it's just black card behind there right now. With all the delamination I figured it couldn't be any worse ChelCass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Humm,,, I think your coloring is "outstanding". Just a note this reminded me of a bit of trivia Today 10/13 Is the Navy Birthday, and also National "No Bra Day". Do you think that is a coincidence? Okay, sorry I will go to my room now.
