This is smudgers pattern. I cut it in cedar which was a breeze to cut but it didn't take the finish too well. Oh well never mind. Andrews made the pattern as a tie hanger but I don't have any ties just scarves, works just as well but for thinner scarves. Thanks Andrew.

So this is the culprit that turned your hair grey and the air to turn blue? :lol: Looks great Clayton. Charles' patterns are really something aren't they?

A work colleague of my husbands asked if I had a Doris Day pattern and was quite surprised when I said yes 4. Well this is the one she chose and low and behold a friend of hers asked if I would do one fore her too, but because I had only cut the one I now have to start a second one. Anyway its cut from 3mm marine ply and put into a bought frame.
Pattern is by someone named Paul from Portraits in Wood I think and posted in 2008 on some site or another.

When we were in Tassie we went to Straun ( Sorry can't remember how to spell it) and they have a wood tuning shop / workshop there and they had loads of Huon Pine. Its a nice soft wood.

I'm not sure what I will be cutting yet. I gave the counter a really good clean when I had put the wood into the garage, didn't want to get into trouble if he got splinters in his sandwich. :lol: :lol:

The courier arrived this morning with a VERY heavy box and when I open it surprise surprise.
A friend of my daughters lives in Launceston Tasmania and he found out about my little hobby so sent me all of this wood. Its Huon Pine a native of Tasmania. I sent him a message to say thank you and he said that if I want any more just to let him know. Gee my daughter's got some great friends.

I too had trouble working out that it said Riverview, the view part was easy it was just the River I had trouble with. But boy its a humdinger of a pattern.

I bet its not the first or last time that you make designer firewood. At least you weren't injured except your pride. We have all been there and it sucks big time.

I missed this because I had already posted to the original post and once I have done that it is very rare that I look again. Now that I have I must say you make very nice dolls furniture and I am sure it was greatly appreciated by your granddaughter. May I suggest that in future you start a new topic so that this problem does not arise in the future.

Wow that hair would have taken a while, but it looks good. He is going to be over the moon with his present. The others are great too, I especially like R2D2, awesome.
