Multifasited Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 jUST HAPPEN TO RUN ACROSS A GIANT CRATE BEING THROWN OUT MADE OF BISCUIT WOOD,AKA CHIP BOARD.iT HAD VERY NICE GRAINS GOING EVERY WHICH WAY SO IF YOU CAN DO IT I'LL TRY TOO.iT'S GREAT LOOKING STUFF I CAN'T WAIT TO MAKE LITTLE PIECES FROM IT Oop's capitals again !005.jpg Let your imagination guide you ,there is a full range of details and charactor in each piece ,I think an intarsia piece would be striking ,especially if the pattern were photo copied on mylar see thru sheets and cut out the various features and slide around to pick out the matching effect and pattern for that piece ,then combining to create real masterpiece ,my first thought is wild life ,every effect is there ,you may have a lit of scap but at the difference in price ,you can afford to be choosy ,and it's dimentionally stable .I look forward to your first creation !

NC Scroller Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Might make an interest back drop vs an actual project. My experince is that "stuff" does NOT take finish well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multifasited Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 You can say what you want about OSB ,It's stronger than MBF .partical board ,lighter and weathers vertical better than plywood ,glue mix really slows the bugs down and don't warp like ply wood .It will be interesting to see some examples of intarsia made from it ,I think everybody will be suprised and as for finish ,that may not come in a quick spray can ,I'll wait and see ,as the weather chases me back to my scroll saw , I may have to give it a chance see what I can do with it ! amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I had a busy day Did one thing wrong ,had to do another one over finished one and bought new wood for a couple dozen ornaments with names one them,not a bad day things keep moving,lol Yes the wheels are turning for the chip board.I had a friend explain how it's made so sounds like Carls right on the money for strenght.I'll try a background first and then something different . Bought the mylar film called 10 sheet poly protectors at the drug store3 -4 bucks 9.5" x 11.3" they look like they go on a three ring folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Roy Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 Best of luck with that stuff Kevin. It's known here as O.S.B. Oriented strand board,compressed wood shavings, not the best of stuff to work with. Hated it with a vengeance when I was in the trade. It will be interesting to see your results. .

Did hymns for church the same way ,saves the need for a lot of books .Good Luck . Carl amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted October 23, 2014 Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I have used the Polly protectors to store filed patterns. It keeps them clean undamaged and you can file them in notebooks, I use them all the time I have my patterns stored in 9 different notebooks according to what they are they run about 10 cents each, well worth the money I bought a pack of 50 at a garage sale for 25 cents. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multifasited Posted October 24, 2014 Report Share Posted October 24, 2014 I was suggesting photo copying the pattern on the copier mylar ,allowing for total view of differing pieces through the mylar outline to evaluate and choose wood shades and grain features per piece ,to see how I thought it was going to look before attempting any actual cutting on the OSB !With that ,I would make the go -no-go decision on a chosen pattern ,that was my original intent and suggestion . That is the way I will approach it ,anyway ! amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
