Nice work tell me more about how you did it and if youare you gonna do any thing else to it such as finish it with stain paint?
here are two things i am working on now one pen and one cutting board.
Here is a pic of the same board after i cut it up into 24 pieces.
Now I have to glue and clamp it all back together then try and make it flat.
Man do i love the headaches I create for myself.
That cutting board is gonna be awesome when you get it done, can you run it through a planer on end like that or not? Post when finished. I started off making these things seperatley out of some scrap alum. sheeting I had left over from another project, I made paper templates for each one. Then as a present for my nephew (who I left ride my Heritage,first person other than me) I cut them out of 1/4 oak plywood and put them together like a puzzle on a 3/4 in solid oak backround. I put a pic of him riding my bike on the bar & shield then polyurethened everything. Next go around I decided to just make them one piece out of the 1/4 oak and burn in between, the one in the pic has a coat of poly on it, not sure what else I'm gonna do to it. Will be making some out of 3/4 solid oak next. I will try to post some pics of the alum. ones. Can't get the pics to upload.
I have a 13 inch planer that does not get along with the end grain of these cutting boards.
One os these days I will be able to afford a wide drum sander, until then i use my belt sander.
And that is why after every move I make on some of these boards I have th set it aside and build something small and less stressful.
Like this.
I didn't think end grain would go well with the planer but wasn't sure I'm pretty new to this woodworking stuff, I know what you mean about less stressful though. These things that I mess with are really just time killers and keep me busy (like I need that) I don't know why I cant get any pics to load when I try the progress bar goes about halfway across then the whole page just goes blank. Guess I'll keep trying.
Hey I think I figured out what was wrong with posting pics?If it works these are the alum ones I cut out with tin snips,hammered,sanded and put on my door in my work room. I have since made some more of the skulls and polished them.
Looks to me when you ole boys up there on the mountain get done racin dem damn ole stock cars ya have all kinda time....
Looks good. Love that piece ya made the nephew. Like to have one of dem myself.
