Ok, just a quick update…I listened to the advise, made some changes and made 2 of them. Yes my sister-in-law will still get one but not the prototype. The second one is for my daughter but the bestest surprise of all is I get to keep the prototype for me.
I tossed together a son-in-law gift today but I’m gonna remake it as well, tweak it a bit and make it nicer
I did the artwork from a photo
what are the different layers made of? way cool!
The trivet has a base of some white hardwood, not sure what it is, the 2nd is cherry plywood proofgrade and the 3rd is some deep red hardwood, Just stuff I had laying around. The key fob is mirrored acrylic, balck acrylic and some more of that deep red wood I had.
Be careful. If the first gifts you give are this good, they are going to expect something extra spectacular next year. Well done!
Well, if I did this in just under a week, I have a whole year to figure something better off. If I don’t then my family always tell me I’m a disappointment so it’s win/win.
Very nice work! Nobody could be disappointed by that gift!
Did some research last night, the dark red wood is Padauk and the base white wood is Aspen. Purchased from http://ocoochhardwoods.com/scroll-saw-lumber/ in 2018. They have exotic woods in thicknesses from 1/16 to 3/4 incase anyone might be looking.
