My copycat version of "Treble Cleft" Sculpture by S Good.

[FrankEV]

Bruce (aka Blaughn) Posted back on 10/4 about his cutting of this S. Good Pattern.  Well just like Bruce I happen to have a few pieces of ¾” Walnut amongst my scrap pieces that were the perfect size for the cutting and the base.  Additionally, although I do not own a Piano or play an instrument, I just happen to have a need to make a piece for my collection of sculptures and this was a great choice.  The sculpture is overall approximately 9 1/2” High x 6” wide.

Bruce and I both deviated slightly from the original pattern in the area in the half circle just above the base.  I also tapered the base about 4 degrees just to add a little more detail. 

And like Bruce, I finished mine with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Lacquer.

 

Comments and Critiques always welcome.

That looks very nice Frank.  But it just doesn't look like walnut - must be the lighting.

Yes the lighting and the wood itself.  It is walnut, but the cut off I used had been from the end of a long 16" wide board where the board was changing to areas of almost whitish coloring...new growth area I suspect.  As a result it is not quite as dark as one would expect.  Posssibly, I shoul have given it a quick  coat of walnut stain to darken the wood a little, but in live view is looks nice as is.

A nice piece Frank.
Like you, It would look nice in my cabinet, but can't carry a tune in bucket.

Nice job! I really do like this pattern. Got someone in mind it would make a nice Christmas gift for.

Really looks nice.  I also have zero music talent.  I think that is why I love to make things musical.  i made several tongue drums, strum stick, around 10 cigar box guitars, a Native American flute, and my street organ. The street organ is the only one I can play (turn a crank).  But really enjoy making such things.  Others can make them sound nice.  I may have to make this pattern also.  doesn't make a sound, but really looks nice.

Great job.

I can relate Paul.
I have had about 1/2 dozen mouth organs and the best I did was a train whistle :). I also have a Jews Harp and then I nearly busted my teeth. Oh well, at least I'm pretty good on a record player

Very nice!  Like you I chose to omit the round circles near the base of the Good pattern.  I definitely like the taper you added.

Nicely done Frank, I know a few musicians that I could make these for, I must look up the pattern.
