Another one from the Holiday Issue

[Jediscroller]

This was a nice quick and enjoyable project . I'm really liking the holiday issue of SSWC, there's still a few more that I want to knock out.
I cut this out of pine and aspen with green poplar and redheart for the accents (it's the woods I had in stock that fit the pattern).
Bob, I'm not sure what could be confusing in the instructions, I whipped this out without a problem.

Nice job Kevin, glad to see someone is making sawdust out there! Dang this cold weather!

Hi Kevin, Beautiful job. My hubby really loves it. I wish it was in fretwork as well. Maybe if I send an email to Paul Meisel, he could change the pattern for me.
Thanks for sharing

That's a lovely piece, Kevin. Any tips on cutting ovals?

My copy of the magazine must still be dodging u-boats.

Hehehe, that struck my funny bone Gill. As far as cutting ovals, the best advise I ever read was to keep moving and cut in one continuous motion. Having a disc sander helps too
Thanks for the kind words as well.

Great work Kevin

Bill;

Dang this cold weather!

Just cold? We are getting a big dump of snow right now. The snow plough just came up our road with chains on and I could hardly see his headlights in a white out.

I like that alot, I have to take a closer look at the holiday issue.
I like your choice of woods.
Did you glue all the pieces on before finishing?

Thanks Bill and Rolf.
Rolf, I stained the backer before gluing the pieces on (with Aleene's Tacky Glue). I then sprayed it with Deft clear lacquer. I've never had a problem gluing to finished work with aleene's although I'm sure there are other methods that work as well.
