    Default projects for show!

    I have many more to come, but here is one finished project. This is my twist on a shared pattern. It snowed all day yesterday and the shop was warm so I finished this, let me know where I can improve.

    Both photos are the same I was trying to get the best one to view!

    Hi Ike,

    It is different --- I like it! -- bet they look even better in person.
    Could you post a little larger photo of them, my eyes aren't quite as good as they used to be.
    I really kind of like the first one -- the second looks to much like my Mother in-law.

    Hess I don't use a sled! I made it look like an old slab of wood. This was a shared pattern so I think it is ok to re-post it.

    The outside edge using the handy die grinder with a wire bush and then I torched it really well and did a gray color mix. Then Wire brushed again and torched!.

    Ken yes I did make it a bit glossy! Next one will not be as glossy!

    Hi Hess,

    This is what my Sled looked like back when I did the carving last year,
    Hope it helps.

    Extra 3 1/2" to 4" fillers at both ends and 3/4" wide rails plus,
    a couple dots of hot glue to hold the slab of wood in place.

    One thing if somebody uses my redneck made slab use a true 1" board other wise if it is 3/4" you will cut through the board! Of course you can always adjust the depth!

    Again sorry it was my way of making a slab look!
