Hey I would like to know if you would be willing to share the mpc for the flyfishing. My dad is an avid fly fisher and I thought maybe I could try doing this one for him.

After going back and looking at the Litho of John's..... WOW.... I really need to add Lithos to my collection... Great work John. A litho pane in place of my carving would be good with the clock....

Here are more clocks. A litho in place of the wood carving and light up would be very nice...

Thanks John,

John,

Lots of fishermen Ooooooh's and Aaaaaaah's but not takers. They loved your work.

Hillary was in town and attendance at the show was very poor. Made lots of contacts and sold some other stuff. Lots of shows to come.

Chris showed up and was very informative and taught me a few tricks. Nice guy !!!! He had nice stuff too.

Got requests on how to paint the letters so here it goes.




Good morning Al,

Beautiful clocks! Have you posted elsewhere in the forum on how you color the letters? Is it all hand-painted, or do you have a faster "trick"? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Marty,

Thanks for asking.

First I Centerline carve the letters.

Then I sand off any stray fibers and blow the letters out with air.

Next I use Latex only, indoor/outdoor and slap it into the letters not being careful.

Then I keep going over the letters removing all the excess paint.

Any sawdust in the letters will later fall out and take the paint.

I only use latex for odor and the spray wicks up the fibers. Some have good luck with it sealing the letters first.

Let it dry and later palm sand down to the finished letters or surface plane.

I sand that way I don't clip the top off any art.

Then I apply Min-wax stain and the secret here is doing it outside, with a respirator, I blow out the letters with a air hose and the artwork too. Wipe blow, Wipe blow till done.

That's it....

Works for me.

Some clocks had the lower message in bold and with text that slow was too hard to read. Made regular text and it looked better. The Delaware and bigger text was all done with a V60 with that being bold.

Good Luck,

AL
