A try at veneering

[Rocky]

I assume others have tried to carve vennered wood. So I put a piece of walnut veneer on a piece of poplar to get the lighter effect of carved letters. It came out 'ok', except I should have done a better job of proof reading.

Rocky,
Chalk that one up to oops,,,,. It still looks great though. I'm gonna have to try that sometime.

Rocky,

Nice looking project, the contrast in the wood grain colors is Great
and don't feel bad about the oops, Most of us have done the samething or something like it,
and in my case more then a few times to be more accurate.

Very nice technique, Rocky. Thank you for sharing that.

I had to read the sign two or three times to find the error. It was a great job and don't feel alone by making a mistake. Try printing a pattern upside-down.

Rocky,
I hope I didn't offend you with my post. What I meant was that just chalk it up to an oops and keep on truckin brother. Don't let it get ya down. Some of the blunders I have made would make anyone scratch their head and say "what the hell was he thinkin(drinkin). I've done the right project on the wrong piece of wood, spelled folks names wrong (relatives included, ha ha), and have put in the wrong bit more than once. It's like that old Snickers commercial with the old guy painting the football field, "Nice job, but who are the Chefs". It happens.

Rocky,

Nice technique! Good choice of woods, as the contrast really brings out the lettering.

Brady, no offense taken. It was definitely an "ooops".
