Topic tags/keywords: mahogany carving maple I was wondering what everyone did today. I was going to work on a countertop but the rain keep me inside. The top is to big to easily work on inside my small shop so I figured I would wait for the nice weather tomorrow. So what do you do on a rainy day? I found a Mahogany box left over from the big batch of boxes I did at Christmas time. It was one I never completed so I decided to see if I could get it done today. Well I didn’t finish it completely or it would be over on the projects page, but I did get close. I figured I would share what I have done here and see if anyone else had any unfinished projects they worked on today and would like to share a photo or two. The inlay is curly maple and I guess you would call that a chip carved lotus flower. I was considering filling it with a pink epoxy, but everyone I have shown so far like it as it is. What do you all think? -- JoeyG ~~~ http://www.facebook.com/JHGWoodWorks |

How is Etsy working for you? I’ve heard mixed feelings about it. I’m kinda on the fence as to whether or not to start one. The videos sound really cool. Free hand is a challenge. -- JoeyG ~~~ http://www.facebook.com/JHGWoodWorks |

Thanks. I wish I had thought of this before I put those miter keys in. They were done before Christmas. I just approached it today as if they are not there. I figured I would figure something out. Maybe a Wenge inlay that covers the corners. I don’t know. Any idea’s? -- JoeyG ~~~ http://www.facebook.com/JHGWoodWorks |

That’s really nice Joe. I spent half the day working on a coffee table humidor with my buddy, and the rest finishing up a chalk board project with my daughter. I just posted it, and she is very proud of it, as am I. -- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw. |
