Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 This was the first project I completed. My niece has a horse tack store and does horse training and riding lessons. She displays a lot of my projects to see if they will sell. new2woodwrk, jollyred, JAC1961 and 22 others 23 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preprius Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) At first I thought you just glued the thin horse on top of the thick piece. Then I had zoomed in to see the thin horse is actually a backer for the entire horse shoe and open letters. Nice project.

FrankEV Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Very Well Done! If, for the backer, you had used a darker wood or stainded it darker there would have be a little more contrast to make it visually pop a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted July 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Thanks everyone. Yes, there is a backer over the entire horseshoe. I agree that a darker backer would have contrasted better to make the project "pop." In actuality there is some contrast but it doesn't show up well in this picture. Being my first project I was still determining if I was even going to like scrolling. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Nice job and much more detailed piece then my first piece. definitely wasn’t trying lettering, still not a fan of lettering. I prefer to run and hide from letters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 meflick, My second project was "DOGS WELCOME, PEOPLE TOLERATED" sign I did... was doing, for the wife. I did all the cuts and started on the letters. Because the "PEOPLE TOLERATED" was closest to the edge and my saw arm doesn't lift, I decided to cut those first. Soooo, the "DOGS WELCOME" were the last cuts. When I cut the "G," it broke off. I blame it on the poor quality of wood that I was using. It was extremely brittle. It was 1/4 plywood that was in my shop when I purchased the home. That was over 20 years ago and there is no telling how long it had been there before then. (Good excuse anyway.) The project is still sitting on my workbench next to the saw as a reminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
