here are some project that ive been working on

first two are some door panel for a gun cabinet

third is a sign that i made for the neiborhood grocery store
(this is a two sided sign with both side the same) to hang over his
homemade icream cooler

fourth is a 13" x 21" oval carved out of birch with my carvewright
it is stained golden oak, laquered, and then glazed to highlight the carving
i think it turned out pretty good

deer pattern came from the pattern store

any comments welcome

kendall,

Nice Job on all the projects,
I've never tried carving Birch
the finish you did looks as soft as Satin
Well Done!

Great job, I like them all but I kind of favor the Deer. What settings did you cave it at? I might try it myself but I'm one of those new guys on the block.

Kendall...I really like the deer plaque. But my favorite is the Ice Cream sign...it's so "old fashion" and goes so well with homemade ice cream. I received about twenty door panels for 50cents apiece. Have been wondering what to do with them and your doors give me great ideas. Thanks for sharing. SharonB

Bill... got the doors at my favorite place....Habitat. Was visiting in Reno, NV and stopped at Habitat. They must have had a couple hundred of them. I just picked out some I thought might work in the CarveWright. If they turn out as nice as Kendall's I might wish I'd gotten more. SharonB

Habitat is a recycling center ( I think they are linked to Habitat for Humanity) that people can take their old items to, as they remodel their home/business. They are popping up all over the country.
