Earth Sign

Found out that as a Virgo, I am an Earth sign...I liked the part of blending into the background, especially the background that I live in...cold, damp and dark....lol

New Look?

Just started messing around with some pictures with PhotoShop and I came up with this using the Titanium Filter from Xero.

Nativity Ornament or Stand Alone Decoration

• Made out of mahogany, this piece measures approximately 3 1/2 inches tall and 3 inches wide.
• Finished with 3 coats of MinWax Polyurethane.

The mahogany is coming from a cache that I had acquired from my brother-in-laws late grandfather who began woodworking later in life. These have always been a big seller at the shows we used to go to. It can either be an ornament or used as a stand alone piece.

The Punisher

• This piece measures 10 1/4 inches tall and 7 1/2 inches wide.
• It’s made out of scrap pine with a back board of luan.
• Painted with acrylic paints and finished with four coats of MinWax Polycrylic
• Finished off with a bracket for hanging off the wall

This was my first foray into the paying respects to the comic book world that I love so much. The Punisher is one of my favorite characters. This design was adapted from the artwork that was used in the first movie starring Thomas Jane.

Jalopy

• Made out of Western Fir, Pine, Mahogany, Birch dowels and Maple this piece measures 9 1/8 inches long and 2 7/8 inches wide.
• Front end is tapered, rear end is rounded over
• Four coats of MinWax Polyurethane

I forgot all about this one. Found an intact model in a box out in the shop. This one was another favorite of the nephews and the neighborhood kids.

This one was inspired by an old car collector that we knew when we were younger. He had all sorts of old cars and after gleaning my memory for inspiration I settled on on of the cars that he had that I remembered.

Drawing it out was a lot of fun, but rounding over the rear end and narrowing the front end, really set this car off for me.
