Popular Post Hudson River Rick Posted January 23 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 23 Hi everyone, I made this plaque for a very close friend who was celebrating his 60th birthday. Marc has this unbeliveable Black Lab who doesn't know he's a dog, EVERYBODY loves COAL. When I came up with this layout, I chose a nice piece of Cherry to mount the lettering on and I didn't have real dark wood, so I had to apply several light coats of rattle can Black on the dog pattern. I read somewhere on the internet that if you bake poplar wood slowly in the oven, that it would turn very dark, so I told Ann Marie I was going to try that...NOT IN HER OVEN. The person who wrote the article must have been a bachelor. This is my version of a 1983 song by "THE POLICE" Thanks for looking. I have posted this on 2 other scroll saw forums, I'm sorry if this is your second view.

Hudson River Rick Posted January 24 Author Report Share Posted January 24 A great big THANK YOU to all you kind folks. Thanks for looking at my project. I forgot to mention that the font I used is called JOINT byPizzaDude, I got it from dafonts. I chose this font because I wanted something informal and fun when I see it posted, it appears that I didn't do a good job on the cutting.

Hudson River Rick Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 @Denny Knappen Thanks a bunch Denny. I usually don't post the same thing on the 3 forums because I don't want to bore people. This was a real special project for me so I decided to go ahead and psot to everyone. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
