Softwood and hardwood

[Wood Dog]

I would love to see the project with your Lee Press On Nails workin for wood.
I just can't imagine where they would go.......my lack of brain cells I guess

Thanks! Half the fun is picking out the woods. I purposefully wanted to make this one colorful - think of a coral reef- lots of colors and textures. I'm thinking I may have to make a pattern for a full underwater reef someday

uhhh..well the lee press ons go on the ends of your fingers.

How dumb can I get.........of course.
I was thinking along the lines of improvising.
Very nice project, but what else could we expect from you.
Eager to see the music intarsia completed.

Sorry to hijack your thread Magpie.

Hey Work-- Nice job of cutting and colors. But I don't know if I would want to run into her at night in a dark alley. I have a weak heart. (:

sorry I just couldn't resist.....

I like thread hijacking--you learn a lot that way

Janette, I think all of us would love to see you do that. if any one can, you could. I bet it will be grand. just wondering, are you a deep sea diver? if so. you have one up on us. the colors must be amazing. gosh. I would love that. and to cut it in wood. wow. what a gift, that would be grand for sure. I also love the way you picked the wood and cut it so small, and shaped it. coral and all. I just can't wait to see. I can just see this going along way. I am claming, for you. really no pun. your friend Evie

[Janette]

Not a deep sea diver for sure! Just looking for an excuse to make colorful projects! It's on my very very very long "to do" list! as I said...someday!

Janette - I agree you are a master - you also proved mixing softwoods and hardwoods is not a problem.

Nice going Janette, I love the way that you do your work. I can only hope to learn to do things like that, as I am only a bigginger, and have not done any of this kind of work yet. I do have a 16" Delta that I got second hand from another wood worker in the club that I have joined. He bought a Dewalt 20 " and I hope that some day I get one just like it, as it is a beautiful machine to work with.
