    Default My best work yet.....

    I have been working off and on for a few months on this design and finally felt after a few trials it was worthy of cutting. I have seen some neat things from guys like AJCoholic, and Steve Glassel, and several others who's work i have learned from and admired but this in my opinion ranks right up there with them, if not a bit better if i do say so myself

    Jack,
    I believe that it would have taken you a few months to achieve this....

    Good job Jack...

    I like how you let the beauty of the wood speak for it self. The chatoyance of the wood makes you feel like you can step right into it... I particularly like your choice of finish... easily reproduced by any member of this exclusive, august group of craftsmen! I can't wait to see how you incorporate this design style into your next creation!

    I really like how the lettering seems to just float outside of the main piece.

    What bit and what speed and feed? I can never get my jokes to turn out that good! Also what brand of finish did you use, mine always runs a little! Oh and btw thanks for the grins! Russ

    I meant to warn everyone not to pay any attention to anything Jack said yesterday.

    Jack you are so predictable...

    David,
    That is because i've been doing this for 6 years and every year i catch a few suckers that fall for it over and over....

    The fun part is knowing that most of you old farts will forget about this in a few months and i'll catch you again next year!
