Hi all I am looking for a source for a Nautical theme picture frame.
Anchors etc. I need to do a quick present for a relative.

on a side note I have not been on here too much lately and I have to say that I do miss coming by and reading the posts, life got a little busy for me and I know I have missed out on some interesting conversations and a lot of helpful information. I am now able to get some time to check in here more often and I intend to do so.

Wayne,
great site but too elaborate.
The friend I have go on a lot of Cruises they are not boaters or fishing type people So I want to keep it simple.
I will follow your suggestion Carl and maybe make a simple frame with a cruise ship image scrolled into it.

I built a round one by accident. It looks kind of like a ship steering wheel. simple and fast to make. Glue up a blank square, draw two circles, however wide it is your making the frame. Divide out the circle with a ruler and a square so it looks like a pizza. My frame is 2" wide. put an x where each line meets the outside of the circle. Use a 1 1/2 forestner bit on the drill press and drill out each x. Then cut out the inside and outside circle.

The strip method is the way to go for small compound cut objects. Betty's photo reminded me of my first published project in SSWC, in 2007, which was a bow box, and pulled up the strip of hand-drawn patterns I submitted for making the bow loops. It really makes the process go quickly.
I must try doing in strips. I have always done 2 at a time with small clamps to hold the birdies.
Also, when I do mine I always fill the hole with moss. I used to use dryer lint or cedar leaves but I got a bag of moss from dollar store and it will last a lifetime.
