Popular Post Blaughn Posted September 10 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 10 (edited) I wanted to scroll this verse in plaques for my two college age Grandsons. My daughter has it hanging in her office and the boys have remarked that they like the verse but that the plaque treatment is too "Girly" for them. These are cut from a single "generous" 4-quarters blank of live-edge cherry yielding 4 blanks roughly 3/8" thick. The four were then edge squared, planed and joined as a single piece - backed by 1'2" birch ply. They are "drying" after a coat of Danish oil and I will apply Shellac when they are ready.

Bill WIlson Posted September 11 Report Share Posted September 11 Nicely done. I've said many times that text is one of the hardest things to scroll well, especially fonts such as what are in that pattern. You did an excellent job!

Text of any type is nerve wracking since there is zero tolerance. You captured it well on some good looking stock.

Blaughn Posted September 11 Author Report Share Posted September 11 I am considering cutting serrations into the sides to give a broken log appearance. My bride of 54 summers says no. Hmmmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bride of 54 summers says no. Hmmmmmmm That's harder to do than it seems. Usually it comes off looking contrived. Also you don't have a lot of extra length to work with. I would leave it as is. Would hate to risk spoiling what is very nice work. jpburcham 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted Friday at 12:13 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:13 AM Sometimes the guys think everything should be bold to be masculine, they will get over that once they get married and start having a family. Personally I think they are perfect as they are and they should be very grateful they have someone that is will to give them things they made and some day they will cherish it just because you made it just for them. Beautifully done. Dick heppnerguy Blaughn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
