Carved Wood Stained Plaques

[Kenm810]

Here's Something I thought would be fun to try,
A bit like Stained Glass carved on the CW and CC Machines.
You can use water or alcohol based transparent stains to color the Patterns
and top it off with a few layers of gloss clear coat if you want.

Just use your Imagination !!

That is truly awsome!

Great idea!! I can just imagine those as raised panel doors in a kitchen or furniture doors. They would make unique panels inserted into the front door of an old victorian house. Guess I better not let my wife see these.
Thx for sharing, Rick H.

Ken,
Great job! I would like to know where you got the stains you used

Thanks,
Jim

I think the "stain" came from Photoshop. As for actually doing it. Lowes and Home Depot both carry a good selection of colored stains. They come in opaque or translucent. For the stained glass effect you would want to use the translucent stains or really thin down an opaque stain.

Really cool idea though.

Ken,

Your words of wisdom and wit are only out done by your talents in the finishing and designs you do. Even greater that you share them all will us.

Thanks!!!

Ken,

What can I say? That is beautiful.

Ken, really nice. I wonder if I have the patience and steady hands to paint all the colors.

Hey Guys thanks for all the nice comments,
I"ve been a little house bound for a while, did a good Job of (Sprained my left Knee)
and between the leg brace and learning to walk with a cane on the Hardwood and Tile floors we have
the Grand kids say it sounds like Captain Ahab pacing the deck on his Whaling Ship -- any way,
I had some time today to play with my CW designer software and one of my Graphic/Paint programs,
to come up with an idea I thought might look neat to do.
Being at home and machine being 35 miles away at my shop I had to use my imagination to see what the Plaque/Panels might look like.
Both the Rockler and The Woodcraft stores have all the color stains you need,
plus with a little practice you can mix and match some to make a few of your own new colors.

Ps. Rocky it's easy,-- kind of like painting by the numbers -- with out the numbers

Besides no paint brushes today just the Pc and Mouse

Here's another one
