A Couple years later.....

Lots going on. Finally finished this piece. More later.

 

 

It's a Sunny Day!

I have been tinkering on this panel for far too long. Making this one for my brother. I plan to complete it over the summer. Here is the work in progress.

Pattern is by Paned Expressions.

Frank Lloyn Wright - Lake Geneva Inn Window - Revisited

This is a panel I have made a couple of times. It gets be back into the craft after I have been away for awhile. While it's not the colours from the original window, I selected prairie colours consistent with others windows from Frank Lloyd Wright.

Thanks

cover is finally installed

Here's the cover installed

Finished Cover

Here's a shot of the finished cover.

Dusting off the tools

Getting back into a bit of woodworking. Making a cover to hide wires on a sailing boat. Here's a few picks.

What we are looking to cover up

  The original cover and wood selection. We decided to go with sapele (far left). It's a very nice hardwood often used in guitar making.

 Closeup of the dovetail corner joint. This makes for a very strong joint. Decorative as well.

 Original cover on the right. Replacement cover on the left. Due to some additional wiring a cover with some depth is needed.

Inside view. All that remains is to dryfit the piece. position the holes for securing the cover and a nice finish.

Glasgow Rose II

Decided to tweak the design a bit and make a second Glasgow rose. Moved a couple of lines. The bottom leaves made the panel weak in one area. I moved the bottom right slightly to the left and made the roses different colours.

Here's the revised pattern with the roses cut out

Here's the final piece hanged. Sorry, I forgot to take progress shots on this one. 

It's a foiled piece. I used black backed copper foil and the patina is black.
