Projects using the wildlife & scenes

Post by rdhharm »

The detail in this inlay came out very nice, I used 4 different models and the technique that James explains in the DVD.

A couple of pictures were taking without a flash to show the detail in the carving.

This would have been a great project to use Tim's glazing technique, but the time frame I had to finish I couldn't afford to mess it up and start over, I will have to cut one to experiment on.

Rick,

Those are very impressive!

In the middle picture, are those thin inlays at the 3 and 6 o'clock positions?

I final had some time to finish this coat rack great model James.
I used the glazing technique described by Tim with a little of my own twist. I put 4 coats of sand sealer and than used red oak stain, did the dry brushing to it and let the stain dry, than used 0000 steel wool on the high spots to highlight them. The finial coats of finish were stain lacquer.

Thanks Tim for the Technique.

I like the depth of the cutting of the bowl. It really makes a difference.

I am doing a sample route file of that same scene..from the aspire clipart. Butttt...it shows that it will take 16 hrs to route it at 12" x 8". Can you send me your file so i can see how you tooled it and at what depths and speeds? 16 hrs is excessive right? lol
