Popular Post barb.j.enders Posted May 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 16 (edited) Got the finish done this morning. Two generous coats of shellac with a thin coat of beeswax/mineral oil over top. Over 120 pieces. Janet Square design. Woods used: Spanish Cedar, Quilted Maple, Poplar, Rainbow Poplar, Cherry, Pine, Aspen, Bamboo, reclaimed Elm, Walnut, Spruce. Mostly cut with MG #5. Some #1 & #3's.

munzieb Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 A beautifully done project. Love the contrasting colors. Now get out to Nova Scotia or Maine and enjoy the real thing. I hear the Lobster and clams are great this time of year. barb.j.enders, OCtoolguy and Scrappile 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McDonald Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 I knew it would look great after seeing the WIP, but it came out better than I thought. The finish really popped. OCtoolguy, barb.j.enders and Scrappile 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 Very well done, Barb. I think maybe intarsia is your nitch. I like the rope the way you did. The next military I build, after I finish the four I am working on, is going to be for me. I have plans to make the border rope in pieces like you did the rope for your piece. Each twist being a single piece. Plus some other things to make it more special. That way I will not be so quick to give it away as I have been in the past. I seem to always end up not having one for myself. barb.j.enders, heppnerguy and OCtoolguy 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also was thinking, if it is old rope, it isn't always symmetrical! OCtoolguy and Scrappile 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No long trips planned yet. Longedt we've done was 5 days. Down to Timber Island on Lake of the Woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
