Toothpick

Thanks folks!!

A couple pieces I finished while off work this week. The shuttle is for a friend at work, a sort of going away present. He’s moving. The lighthouse was requested by another friend as a gift for his mom. It was the first time I tried rounding the edges. I have a Dremel with the plunge router attachment that I used. I think it looks better than the squared edges. 3328E379-2E2C-409C-8458-3271A5DB4E7D.MOV

Thanks, Scott. I appreciate everyone’s input here. I didn’t have a lot of the stuff mentioned on hand. But I had the superglue. So that’s what I used. Superglue quite a few spots around the piece and stacked some books on it. It appears to be holding fine. I’m giving it to my buddy tomorrow. Now I got a bunch of great tips for future projects!

The glue on the foam roller - stupid question time, ...is the roller one time use or does the glue wash out?. And I assume you can simply pour the glue from the tray back in the bottle....

I did the two pieces different colors. Would be tough to do that already glued. Doesn’t look like two different colors cause the woods were so close in color already. Thanks for the replies everyone! I’ve got some greats ideas now

Finished this yesterday and applied Danish Oil. Now I’m wondering how to secure it? There is not much surface area for glue. And i don’t want it to squeeze out because it would be hard to clean it up. Any ideas? How do y’all do it? I was thinking epoxy on the few areas with the most surface Thanks!

Come on! How is this possible! That’s awesome. What blade did you use?

Awesome. Thanks!!

So where do you get smaller bits from?

I don’t think I have a small enough drill bit to be able to do that.

Took some glamor shots yesterday. Great day for it!

Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks all!

Nice cutting and I just discovered what veining is!

Hmmm, You all might be right. This is where I saw it. The “happy Halloween”. Those lines are not drawn on but cut with a very fine blade? Wow, noob question!! Haha
