Thanks Ray and thanks for the comments folks

The reason i used that shade was it was the only close match left in the wife's water color paint box (she still has not noticed yet) Next time i use water color i will use alcohol or vodka instead of water that way the fiber will not rise.

Thanks for the support and comments guys I am delighted you like my work 

Maybe i am a little more critical of my own stuff (Working in a manufacturing dispatch role has made me stricter than i need to be My rule is if i would pay good money for it then the customer will be happy If i am not happy then i don't dispatch and it goes back to quality control for finishing) This is a new craft for me and every day is a teaching day.

Thanks again folks much appreciated Regards Tom

« on: February 15, 2015, 06:50:28 am »

Hi Folks

Here is another attempt (Got Brownie Points for this one )

Traditional Irish ring given which represents love, loyalty, and friendship (The shamrock is a nice touch to)
Thanks to Travis from Scrollsawvillage.com for this pattern.
Made from Birch Ply 3mm back 6mm for hart, I used Danish Oil on the hart and discovered it takes time to dry on Ply 
The back piece was just water colour paint and varnish ,when assembled I used a clear lacquer over the top.

I am looking for tips on finishing and please Constructive criticism is very much appreciated 

If i dont know where i am going wrong how can i learn

Regards Tom
