Post by: GrayBeard on June 07, 2013, 10:21:16 pm: Thanks Dan...yep the aspen was fun to work with.
I am pretty new to the router table and I got some tearout that I wasn't expecting due to the softness.
Learned that next time...make two shallower passes and it should be better.
It is going on a fairly dark wall and I wanted it to stand out.

Post by: Toneman on June 08, 2013, 07:31:29 am: Very nice GB! You are right on the router table. Make at least two slow passes and keep your bit clean.

Title: Re: "Cougar" - redone
Post by: IBMer on June 10, 2013, 12:33:53 pm: Very nice! Did you make the frame as well. I wonder if anyone sells frame making material to the public. I asked a few shops that sell frames, but none of them offered strips of ready made frame making lumber.
Title: Re: "Cougar" - redone
Post by: GrayBeard on June 10, 2013, 03:05:46 pm: I made the frame from 1 x 3 Aspen I purchased at Menard's. Cut the basic sizes, ran across the router for the finished edges then cut the miters and glued up. No oil or stain, just several coats of Zinser spray shellac, lightly sanded between coats.

Post by: IBMer on June 10, 2013, 04:03:59 pm: I wonder if anyone sells ready made frame material in long strips. I'm sure that's how frame shops buy it, then cut and glue or nail it together. But then everyone would just go buy and make their own, so it's sale may be restricted.
