Light scroll project

[Allen levine]

After our week in the Amish area of pa

i saw a lot of pieces of art

this one caught my eye because it gives me scroll/fret practice 

the one I saw was black metal on rough oak 

I picked up a piece of 3/8 inch ply that was the base top of a pallet that had tiles on it

insaw it next to dumpster and the contractor told me take it all but with my back I only took the 4x4 piece of plywood

it had some stains but I cut the best piece of it

had a lot of shorts from cedar decking I used for my sons outdoor furniture and some bird houses so I used them as a back

its raised a bit with 1/2 inch dowels

its basically finished but I want to clean up the black painted surface and spray some polyurethane 

have a look

the original is also shown

thanx for kind comments. I downloaded a steve good pattern just now, probably start it tomorrow if I dont have to pick up my grandson. hes 4 and hes fascinated by the workshop and the tools, but the loud tools bother his ears so he stands outside and looks in....he goes into the house and takes out his plastic work bench with all the tools and gets busy immitating me. Im almost sorry I sold off my mini lathe as Im sure in a few years I could have taught him pen turning as I did two of my nephews.
