Hey people, I'm a beginner, and I already lose track of time in my little shop. Love to make things. My first project was a collapseable bowl/trivot. It sold quick, so I guess it turned out ok. I'm posting a picture of my first fret work. Since this one I have made 7 bowls, and more wall plaques. The latest I stacked to make an opposing set. Enjoy your tips much, and have learned a lot just looking in as a visitor before I joined.

wood
since I'm new to this, I use any thing I get a hold of. This piece came from an old house I remodeled. It was 12" wide, outside sheathing. Because of the age of the house I honestly don"t have any idea what kind of wood it is. I suspect pine as it was rather soft. I planed it to3/8 inch.

After sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac, sanded again and another dipping. Comments...You do not have permission to view this gallery.
