Youngest grandson wanted a gift for his special friend at school.  Coach is at high school each morning to help with students as they arrive at school.  Grandson and Coach talked about hunting a bunch while granddaughter was being helped out of  the vehicle.  Grandson will start to his own school next year and will not be seeing Coach very much.

 

Pattern was made by Snowman1936 at Scroll Saw Portraits forum several years ago. Size is close to 8X10.  It is cut from 1/4 BB Ply with 1/8 BB ply backing using FD UR blades.  Used router with bit and guide to round over the edges.  Wanted round over to be little more deep but guide went over the backer and caused the first edge gouge.  So, decided to make the other corner match and that worked out.  Then thought that putting gouges in the top would make it look a plan to do it than an oops.  Made the first one – OK.  Flipped it over to make the last gouge on the top and the cutting let itself be put in the wrong spot and had two gouges on one of the bottom corners.  You can look at the cutting and see how the rest of the story went.

 

The backing is stained the same color almost as the table top shown in the photo.  Cutting is sprayed with spray shellac.

 

Thanks for looking,

Wonderful gift for a special person. I know he will appreciate it.

Hey there Larry, it looks like you might do your best work when you don't get paid for it. I always feel like then is when I want to impress the most. 

    How is Clyde doing?

Thanks.
