Project Aries

[Dragon]

I don't remember where I saw the deadline for the challenge. At first I lost the saw and when I got a great saw I had too much work and could not work on it much. I am off tomorrow and will be working on it all day. Hopefuly I am not too late?
Please tell me that this is ok.

There's no mirror image on the bottom Bear. The picture is inlayed into 1/2 pecan, and it's planed flat then face glued to another 1/2 bank of pecan. the segmentation is glued seperately and then face glued on top.

Bummer. Great job on it Jeff......seriously......

I am always impressed with your work. I don't recall anyone combining scrolling and turning before. Very creative!

Wow x 10

Ahhh, I agree with all that has been said..Jeff, Trout..wow!!! Both of you have done wonders with the Aries challenge!! Really Really!!

Great job on the segmented/intarsia plate Jeff!!! Really impressive looking. INCREDIBLE given it's your first!

How about a picture of the bottom to see the mirro image of the "former" Aeries pattern?

Trout posted his version of Aries in a separate thread... and it looks great!

So we have seen two done in intarsia. Ricki will be doing this challenge for us, since we have run into some time issues ourselves. LOL. Plus, we have been asked to get the patterns for the Zodiac Masks out as soon as possible... which of course means we need to work each one. Wouldn't you know it - we changed Aries some, so we even have to do that one again too.

Thanks to all who took up this challenge. It really is fun to see what you come up with when a number of people are doing the same project.

Way cool!

Take care

Jeff,

I love the creative approach you take.

I sincerely believe you are one of the few people that actually have a talent to think outside the box and come up with something practical as well as beautiful.

And you show courage in attempting a double "first time" in this project, especially by advertising it before it's completed! That is showing confidence, I guess.

You show exceptional talent in your endeavors, thank-you for sharing it with us.

Respectfully,
Marcel

Trout, post the dang pic already. You're killing us.

I've got my colors picked out but I haven't been down to the shop in a few days, was kind of under the weather.

By the way, Jeff, that is one fantastic piece you did there. You done good.

Trout - we want to see!! Don't worry about posting too soon - it will inspire some of us who have no idea what to do yet!

hey Jeff,

I thought maybe I should wait until a few more people get their's done...
yours is a one of a kind, and I don't think anyone else will be turning theirs into a bowl...

Trout...I'm done with mine too

[Dchatley]

Very impressive Jeff...you seem to be a natural at anything you touch.

Great Job!!
