Popular Post preprius Posted June 2 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 2 (edited) Hi villagers.. I just got done with a small 4 inch logo. My daughter in law has set up her practice for therapy called "Three Feathers Therapy". This her logo.. This is my small 4 inch plaque. Made from Butternut wood. Wow that is soft wood. 2/0 spiral blade was used. She did not mind to add a bit of tint to the wood. I played with my green and orange transtint dye. Butternut wood did pretty well with green and orange. The middle feather I used water-based stain Provential brown. Very diluted, just to get the tan effect. The 3 bigger stand alone feathers : ( left to right) are oak, olive, canarywood. The oak did not do well with green dye after the finish darkened the oak. Olive is so pretty no tint was needed. Canarywood is orange enough with no stain. The off angle pic has a better angle to show green tint. This angle also shows that I added texture to the edge of the feathers. Spiral blade with slight pressure changes left to right. Lessons learned: Butternut wood is soft. Leaves fibers behind. Breaks easily. "feothors" now has a definition. Scollsawyers need therapy when using butternut. Olive smells like olive oil when cutting. Olivewood is my favorite wood due to smooth creamy patterns. It is hard to find good uses for olivewood to show off the grain patterns. Canarywood wood smells fruity. Nice orange color after an oil based finish. Nice to play with. Me.

preprius Posted June 17 Author Report Share Posted June 17 (edited) It turns out there is another part of this project that my daughter in law wanted. A tree that she goes to on hikes. She sent a tree picture. So I had some lacewood that the grain patterns now looks like leaves. The height of this wood is 4 inches. Thickness is 1/2 inch. All cut with spiral blades. I mixed #2 with #00 to help with contouring of branches. Edited June 17 by preprius OCtoolguy, barb.j.enders and Scrappile 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
