End Grain Floor #19: Water around the Lands

I love it so far. Can’t wait to see the finished floor. You have shown more talent already than I even imagined could exist in all the world.

Dave,

Thank you so very much. That is an amazing complement, but really there are so many people out there that are much more talented and gifted than I. But thank you for your kindness.

Very Gratefully,

Nate

Yes, you do have an amazing variety of skills. There are others who do have some unbelievably wonderful skills but only in their specialized field(s) while you have, thus far, shown expertise in many different areas and mediums. You will really have to work hard to keep your floor clean so the art work can be easily seen and appreciated! Way to go my friend!

i really love all of this, the different inlays, the colors, the different effects , like the blue and then the clear…it really makes my creative juices flow here, ive got a box im going to start on for a 12 year old..and i want it to be a cool and exciting box…maybe i can take some of this , and use it for the new box., your really and wonderful inspiration…now to the really important part, how many fish did you catch…lol

Thanks again Bob, please feel free to use anything! If I can help just email me!

The Fishing was horrible! We only caught two, and they were not keepers. Three weeks ago we limited out at the same spot…o well, its the process and company that makes it so great. (Put there is nothing like reeling in a good catch!)

Nate, That is an incredible effect. It looks just like an aerial view of crystal clear ocean surrounding an island! That is truly amazing. You have impressed me with every step of this floor. I would have to fence it off to keep people from walking on it. I know, that defeats the purpose. Can’t wait for the next installment.

gfadvm,

I am so happy to hear you so that! That is exactly the effect I was going for, seriously!!!! I am jazzed you see it that way.

Thank you so very much for your encouragement! I know what you are saying, keeping it roped off, but its a floor, it begs being walked on;). I have contemplated having an open house before I move the machines in, my wife’s idea! I will definitely have a professional photographer come in and get shots of it before it gets covers at all:).

Your Friend,

nice, i love how you used a stump cross section for the island and the water effect is perfect.

Mauricio,

Thank you very much. I stumbled onto the idea while cutting up a stump my father gave to me that I used to climb on as a kid. Know it is part of the floor too!
