Hi Everyone, here are a couple of special orders that were requested by a coworker. She was looking through some home interior books and asked if I could make her a couple of things out of wood instead of molded resin or plastic. She wanted them almost black but wanted the wood grain to show. She found a photo of a Corinthian Medallion that she wanted to see how close I could get at reproducing in out of wood and then she wanted me to design a three piece Wall Grille appoximatly 12" by 30" each piece with the center piece having a small shelf for the end wall of a hallway. Here is what I came up with and she was delighted. I used a Cabot ebony stain on red oak with a light laquer finish. The first photo is of the one in the book. The one that I made is 27" in diameter. Steve

looks fantastic steve, although it would show better without the blue patterned background, and the grille is brilliant. Try using more natural light when photographing your items.

What grit do you use on the mac mop? Do you change grits for the final sanding? Do you mop sand with the bird attached?
Inquiring minds want to know.
