My Bass Project - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Trout · 08-28-2006, 01:41 AM

I would like to use this thread to post the progress of my Bass project.

I started on Thursday 8/24. I only cut one piece that day and the rest of the time was spent figuring out my plan of attack..
Friday and Saturday no work was done due to a family get together here at the house...
Sunday, a little hung over but I did manage to get a few pieces cut....

my shades of green and wood grains is way off but that's ok....

to be continued.....

I'll anxiously be awaiting the final project. At last, a real fish.

It was a long day so 2 1/2 hours in the shop is about all I can take.

It still needs some fine fitting before I go on to the next section....

Please hold replies and comments until the end, unless you have a question about the project....

Thanks
Trout

Oh, be reasonable, Trout. You can't expect enthusiastic admirers to withold their encouragement that long

!

It's coming along nicely and I can't wait to see the finished item.

Looking good. I always find that the fitting takes the longest time and is the most difficult part of intarsia.

In Minessota there is a famous super size bass that sits on the side of a lake...partially in the water. It is the biggest talking bass in the world. It has been there for decades, a man enters it and he is the one making the voice, while he can move the fishes mouth at the same time. Unfortunately, I think mr big bass is in retirement now due to rot...but i do know that the historical society wants to restore it. such a crazy story, but cool too.
