LarryEA Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) This is a Steve Good pattern. I stacked cut four using 1/4" Luan. I used more than one type blade but primarly a .026 x 0.11 #2?. The scroll is 8" x 6" and the backer is a light Walnut 10" x 8" Comments appreciated! Un-finished Finished with BLO & Lacquer The shaded area is the character of the wood.

Rob Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Very nice Larry. That will sing once you get a finish on it but it's very impressive even unfinished. Please do post an update after the finish is applied. Rob LarryEA 1 Quote

LarryEA Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Just getting in tough with your feminine side?? Well you did a great job. LOL ... It just fit in with the type of fretwork scrolling I started lately. A few birds I'll show sometime. It's nice to stack and have the bottom as good as the top.... There's another I'm starting where the lady has an escort... I see the challenge... ... and want to see the the fretwork completed. and it will sell x4 Quote
Dave Monk Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Beautiful! I have heard you guys talk about that type of finish several time but I have never asked...... Why do you use BLO before spraying with lacquer? thanks, dave LarryEA 1 Quote
Rob Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 @Dave, The easiest way to answer your question is with a photo. Here is a scrap of Rimu where I have applied Boiled Linseed Oil diluted with turpentine to one half. No other finish has been applied. Rob LarryEA and Dave Monk 2 Quote

Why do you use BLO before spraying with lacquer? thanks, dave Dave, I like your question. BLO is a finish, you brush or pour it on. BLO gets into the crevises giving a more / better finish look. The spray lacquer puts a nice looking finish on but the spray does not get into the crevises very well. Without the BLO, some of the fretwork would look un-finished. Dave Monk 1 Quote

breadstick Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Beautiful work. I've been doing all mine in birch but might have to give luan plywood a shot. I need to take a break from spirals and get back into flat blades. LarryEA 1 Quote
