Popular Post Joe W. Posted November 29, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 A Steve Good pattern (thanks Steve) I enlarged. Sun = 10 inches by 3/4" thick Canadian Cedar Backer=11 1/2 inches 3/4" thick Poplar Shellac for sun & acrylic paint for backer Used 4 3/8" wooden dowels to mount the sun to the backer - drilled holes 1/4" deep into the sun, installed the dowels while praying. Borrowed some of my wife's lipstick and coated the ends of the dowels, then positioned the sun over the backer and pressed the sun down onto the backer, transferring the dowel locations to the backer. Drilled 1/4" holes into the lipstick markings (more praying). IT WORKED! The dowels lined up with the holes and I was able to press/tap (pray) the ends into the sun backer. Whew! Ended with a prayer of thanks. Now to see if someone likes it as much as I do at the next event.

Misty Hey there! yes, when I squint my eyes I can see a bit of devil in it. I see you are from Wales. My wife and I spent a week in and around Denbigh Wales a few years ago and enjoyed the visit very much. Why Denbigh Wales? Her maiden name is Denbigh, so it was a no-brainer for a wedding anniversary trip. If you ever find yourself in that neighborhood, check out the men's choir. Great voices.
