Latest Carving in a slab

[terryjones]

I must say thank you to Steve Glass for the slab. I received several of these slabs from Steve at last year's ShopBot Camp in Austin. Flattened the slab with a bottom cleaning bit. Made two bow-ties to stop the cracking of this piece. Laid out the file in Aspire 8.5 and made the cuts with .5 box core and finished with a .25 Ballnose. The finish is Sherwin Williams Chestnut stain and Spar-poly for the topcoat.

Once again, thanks Steve.

Hi Steve,
Highlight the URL, right click and select "go to". It just worked for me. The photo was too large to attach to this site. If is does not work, just email me at tljrns at cableone dot net. I will then respond with the attachment.

That's flippin' awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I'm about to do several projects with split wood and bowties to be filled with different plastics and polymers for accents. Some looks just like opal, granite, copper, gold, silver, and turquoise. It's amazing.

I'll post some pics after we're done with these test bowties I just did. My buddy who makes this stuff, who owns a paints and pigments manufacturing business "www.colortechmfg.com", is almost finished developing this and is about to bring it to market. He's an avid bowl turner and does awesome inlays with this stuff. He is mostly working on translucent color and stain pens for woodturners.

Thanks Guitarwes. Looking forward to seeing your test bowties.
