I thought I’d do a “double duty” with this one—a sign for our picnic and a Summer Awards Project.

I might try it again to see if I can do it better next time but until then, this will be adorning our backyard.

Wood: cedar sign; walnut, pine, and something or other wood (stuff I had kicking around)
Process: scroll saw and pyrography. and intarsia

thanks everyone :)

and I’ll refrain from saying “yah.. until you see it up close”

Seeing it from a distance is great—it looks just like the logo!
It is now hanging up in our gardens.

Yes, I agree with Dennis, you’re woodworking is definitely improving. I like your use of the natural knot hole.

What’s that little thingy hanging from it?

thanks guys. I can’t wait to see all the signs that people have said they are going to make. I will be looking for tips and tricks to improve mine.

Don, it’s a “mosquito house” – my aunt brought it to our LumberJocks’ picnic (woodworking, although she didn’t make it herself)

thank you; thank you.
As we sit outside in the mornings, it is nice to see the sign hanging there. I am going to have to make another one though because I had received a 4×4 post from a freecycler and I wanted to use it to hang the sign, but the post is big and the sign is small and it would disappear.

For the next one, when I get around to it, I’ll actually get wood that is “right” for the project, even though this looks “right” from a distance.

Willow.. hmmm how do I incorporate willow into this… perhaps the plane is made of willow.. yah.. that’s it! :)

FRIDAY: now I can’t stand the wait either!!! I’m terrible at waiting … is it Friday yet?

Damn Deb, I’m away for a couple of months and you’ve taken your craftsmanship to a whole new level. I really like this a lot. How do you find the time for this AND the newsletter AND your shop inspections? Is Martin loaning you the LumberJocks corporate jet?

Anyway, very nice work and I look forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing it with us.

thanks Rob/Chip for your kind words.

It does look great in the garden. We usually comment on it every morning as we sit outside watching the sun rise.

Very nice Deb!

You forgot to add intarsia to the list. Sorry I didn’t make a comment earlier.

Its nice to see an old project come out of hibernation.
