it looks great!
How did you do it?

-- Joe, Ga

Sweet!!

You are the board Master! You keep saying basic and simple but these boards are blowing my mind. I can’t seem to figure them out. You should put together a How-to blog on one of these, for us novice members.
Awesome!

Looks like another blog idea Joe, and Poroskywood I am not the master yet but Maybe the “chairman of the board’

Great job Larry. I love looking at your boards. I have a quick question. How do you keep the mitered frame together with seasonal wood movement of the board??? Thanks and keep up the great work.

I use Splines the length of the frame and a Mitre Key In the corners and pray like H that it holds. So far I haven’ t had a problem with that , here’s hoping.

Looks pretty good, you almost have it down pat. In checking to see if you have the pieces in right, an easy way is to run your eye along each row of diamonds, point to point, and see if there is no brake in the line. Hold the board up at a slant if nothing else, and sight down the line, there should be an unbroken line of diamonds point to point on all 3 lines. One thing I watch for is having ALL of the wood grain going the same direction on each type of wood; this will give the finished product a woven look.
You have the basic principle down very well; you just need to “tweak” the assembly.

-- It’s not so much what we know that causes the trouble, it’s what we know that’s not so.

Thank You
I appreciate you taking time to comment on my work.
And thank you for the encouragement.. I aspire to be as good as you.
Kind regards Larry
