Walnut and oak with Osage Orange and Padauk accents
Because you are an artist my friend, that is beautiful!
Boom! You called it! Gorgeous work!
Too kind, truly!
Thank you for the kind words!
I hate it. But, damn that's some nice, clean work. You feel like an artist because you are one.
Appreciate your honesty lol what do you hate about it?
I don't actually hate it. I love it because it's difficult thing to make, you had the courage to share it, and you asked me why.
I don't like how the accents have little contrast. And, the waves are irregular but don't seem to follow a natural edge. It doesn't "speak" to me in a way I can easily understand.
I'm not the original poster but I also hate it. It's those lines that kill it for me. If it wasn't for those I'd love it. But it's beautiful work.
Thats lovely. Nicely done.
Thank you, I try.
Bacon Board
Groovy 🥓
Gorgeous and really like the inlay accent work.
Thank you! It's a technique I'm fond of.
As well you should.
Appreciate ya!
As someone with no knowledge of woodwork, how do you even do this? Do you glue the pieces together? How do you make the different woods line up so perfectly?
Well executed, but the wood choices and contrasts in shape are a bit much for my tastes. I feel like the curves and the Osage bits fight each other, and that yellow tones in the oak fight those in the Osage.
You certainly seem to know what you're doing, those curves are very nice and the veneer technique looks nice and clean.
The construction is top notch, but I have to, unfortunately, agree with others that the color choices aren't my cup of tea. That being said, color choice is all subjective, you can be proud of what you made!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
That is absolutely gorgeous! Is this a charcuterie board or cutting board?
beautiful work!
Appreciate ya!
Gorgeous!!!
Thanks!
Purty.
Also, RIP your tools. Jesus. processing some rough-cut Pecan (related to hickory) about drove me batty, and bois d'arc is even harder.
Never heard it's French name before but when I first worked this species it was turning a couple end grain bowls and boy howdy, you ain't kidding. Had to sharpen the bowl gouge 3 times to finish both bowls and I about gave up on the last one.
That’s the shit.
You're the shit for thinking it's the shit. Appreciate ya!
JFC you did that by hand? That's impressive.
By hand? Hell no, I use power tools lol. Appreciate ya!
Ah right, in this case "by hand" means without a CNC router/mill. I can barely draw a straight line so this is pretty amazing to me.
