Canuck45 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 (edited) I was cleaning up my shop and ended up with a pile of scrap pallet wood and a chunk of maple. So I figured to lessen the amount of scrap I needed to get rid of I reused some of what I had. I pulled both patterns from Steve Good's site. The flower and vase is all pallet wood (pine) I intentionally left the flower pedals rough to give to appearance of texture. I maple I turned into something for my wife to make her day. On both pieces I used Minwax Walnut stain and spray gloss lacquer. (I should have removed the vase in behind lol) Edited December 8, 2017 by Canuck45 Lucky2, MTCowpoke22, meflick and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Brian, I like the flower and vase, but I really like the wife one. It's very nice looking, but it looks as if it could be quite fragile. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
