heartpine

[gravirozo]

hello

last week i was work on interior works in a local company....
i made these plates as the logos of company... the owner likes "oldlooking" woodwork... that's the reason for heartpine...

from 2001-2004 i worked for him, to make his furniture for his house...
the last supper will be a part of a mirrorframe... about size... the house average inside height around 16 feet... some part higher.... so all furniture a little tall....

thanks

Very nice! Will you be making the rest of the mirror? I would like to see that finished.

Thanks,
Nick

Also how long did it take to mill the last supper?

That is fantastic. I don't know anything about heartpine, but the select pine I have used does not cut clean like this.
Very nice!

hello

this time a little busy...

nick, monday, next week probably we will work on the mirror...my friend started out ... however i may have to finish... this customer has a full woodshop at his land... i was work there years, on his furniture... he bought some old library and a few couple of truckload heart pine... most material very old... i had to take apart the still assembled parts and buil "new" furniture of..

so very probably they want i finish...

the work, i used z level rough about 2 hour, and finish about 7 hour... the finish i restarted because of endmill... i was not sure it will take all... so i swapped for a new..

i used 1800mm/min for finish pass..1/16 bit...

jim... if wood is dry really, with good bit and feed very minimal the fuzzy... tonight i run some basswood... i will post after ready, before sanding...

what i see really, about 0.2-0.25 mm per pass which one already "disappear" for eyes.. and the speed? i tried 100-120 ipm... i did not like the result... on a 12x12 picture you can spend easy hours to sanding ... so i just let the router do that...

another thing is, the hss works better on pine... for me...

thanks for the kindly words
viktor

jim, try from lowes the "white pine"... for me worked good...

hello

thank you glenn... you know the pine could built america... so i think it is pretty good for any woodwork... if you use the right tenon-mortising.. a table can be together hundred of years, of pine...


thanks

Viktor, the grain on the last supper really looks nice. Good job on the carving, although I have seen it many times I still get a kick out of how nice it carves.
Cheers,
James

hello


eventually i did not finish, the customer made it with his friend... they used the old heartpine stuff that came out of an old library...
on the side of the frame, the "ornaments" were decorating on the shelves...
last week they called me back for the crownmould and figure out some corbels... i worked in this "shop" about four years long... while the owner house was built... if i get permission for i will post some picture about furnitures, bathroom i made...

some picture shows the shop... it is for the owner's hobby...

thanks
viktor
