rjR Posted November 22, 2014 Report Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) About 10 AM this morning; I was asked if I had anything for a house warming for some friends; by my son , that we live with. Well, I did not! A little head scratching etc.-the result is in the picture! So, back to the "drawing board????" Anyway-- well, I really do very seldom do much on paper. The lettering was done from pencil guide lines then lettered-partly sanded off then redrawn and "winged-it". The woodburnign was a very round point. Cedar is hard to burn evenly, though. I also clean the point very often on sandpaper scraps. If you can identify the car---Make--year; I did my job well! The puppies probably will NOT get it! Some of us old dogs, it is pretty easy! The pattern? was made from a stock photo then modified to show some of the customizations on the car they own! Edited November 23, 2014 by rjR Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted November 23, 2014 Report Posted November 23, 2014 That came out good. I am sure that they will appreciate that. Getting spur of the moment orders is pretty common around this time of year Great job. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote

wombatie Posted November 25, 2014 Report Posted November 25, 2014 I hate last minute spur of the moment requests. Be OK if we were all Kevin with boxes full of things we had made but we're not. :lol: You did a great job and I hope you did a great job on your son too. :shock: ;) :lol: Marg Quote
