breadstick Posted March 20, 2016 Report Posted March 20, 2016 Made this for a (possible) client today. Think the wood is red oak that's rotted around the edges (and smells like poop, literally). Finished with some BLO. First time using it. We'll see how it goes, but I'm liking the look so far. Pattern is from someone here, but I can't remember who. leshko, Lucky2, New Guy and 3 others 6 Quote

Lucky2 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Great looking cutting, I hope you got the smell out of the wood. Len Quote
wombatie Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 You did a great job of cutting this one. Once they see it it will be snapped up. Marg Quote
lawson56 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Awesome job. I agree I have used red oak.It does stink,so does poplar Quote
Scrappile Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Well done. Great piece of wood for that picture. Quote
breadstick Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks everyone. Unfortunately, not sure the smell is going anywhere. It sat in my shop for over a month and still smells as badly as when I brought it home. Hopefully someone can put up with it long enough to pay buy it. Quote
wvcowboy99 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Wonderful job on this!!!!!!!!!!!! My wife would love that piece! Great Job!! Quote
penquin Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 That came out great. Wonderful selection of wood and great job on the cutting. jim penquin Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 So it's a smelly owl but looks good perhaps you'll have to make a shadow box for it. Roly Quote
Bill WIlson Posted March 21, 2016 Report Posted March 21, 2016 Give it a light coat of shellac, once the BLO is fully cured. That should seal in the odor. Quote
