Ducks---Not Fretwork, Maybe this is why you changed the name of the Magazine
Too cute! And a good job you did, as well. I hate painting as well, but what did you use that came out so shiny? And did you spray it on to get it so even?

I have made a lot of whirligigs in the past and found that Lowe's sells a water base gloss enamel Valspar paint that works well.. (I used it for the yellow) and Patio Paint from Michael's for the white, and Pumpkin Orange from Apple barrel for the feet. Then a coat of Ultra Clear Valspar for the finish. (I did drill holes for the dowels , but as my garden is watered every day decided to just let the birds set on the patio).. Looking for more like this.
I have my first turning project coming up where I'm considering using maple burl vs. buckeye burl. I'm going for neutral colors and I think the Maple would work well, but the dark bluish? colors I'm seeing on some of the buckeye burl on ebay look intriguing as well.
Here are 5 of the 70 pieces I cut for a spiritual retreat coming this September. They are cut from 1/8" baltic birch stacked 5 high using a #1 Pegas Modified Geometry blade. They will be dipped in a 50/50 mixture of shellac and denatured alcohol.
