OzarkSawdust Posted November 20, 2019 Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) I finished up Santa's Truck by Steve Good this morning. Had to laugh when I saw Dan put the same thing up yesterday...mine was in the shop letting the backer paint dry before I glued it up! I used 1/4" Maple and 1/4" Birch ply painted red but put it on an Oak base. I veined it with a Pegas #5 and followed with a 2/0 spiral. Following the #5 it was better behaved...but still tried to get wild a couple of times...lol. This method may be my only use for spirals, for now. I took it up to Red Barn to put in my booth and the owner really liked it. When I signed the bottom of the base I dated it and wrote "#1 of 10"...lol. Maybe people will think it's a limited edition...limited by how many I want to make...lol And she wants me to design a tissue box for the store! Cool!

I started a website: ozarksawdust.com I looked at the pictures I had taken and didn't like the way they looked. So, after a trip to the local quilt shop, I made this backdrop and reshot all my pictures. Quote
