NOVEMBER 2017 Project of the Month - Holiday Angel Dish!
Hello,
Here is a cute Holiday Angel dish for holding candies, nuts and other “goodies” during the festive season! Make one for your own home and/or make several to sell at craft shows or as gifts to friends and relatives! Leave the wood natural or add some paint - either way, it looks great!
The project uses just the 1/16" Carving Bit and the 1/8" Cutting Bit. No other bits are required.
The dimensions of the Angel Dish are about 9.3" wide x 11.6" tall x 1.5" thick
Main items you will need:
1) The Project Files (included):
• Angel_BASE_Section.mpc
• Angel_TOP_Section.mpc
2) Boards with the following dimensions:
Base: 0.75" x 11" x 20"
Top: 0.75" x 11" x 20"
NOTE: Do not use boards that are smaller than specified above unless using an appropriate jig.
3) Sandpaper, glue, stain and/or paint and clear finish
4) A Dremel-type rotary tool with assorted abrasive attachments to aid the sanding process. A spindle sander and small belt sander can help speed up sanding/surface preparation even more.
Apply the finish of your choice. Here’s what I used on the sample Holiday Angel Dish made from Select Pine:
• Applied one coat thinned Bulls Eye SealCoat (50/50 SealCoat and denatured alcohol)
• Sanded when dry
• Several light coats Krylon Clear Acrylic spray to seal
• Sanded lightly when dry
• Applied craft paint to wings, robe, hair, nose, cheeks
• Several light coats Krylon Clear Acrylic overall
