Popular Post Ron Altier Posted December 4, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted December 4, 2018 Each year, just before Christmas, my daughter and my grandkids come over and raid my tree ornament supply. That's my Christmas gift to them. They got 20/30 and I have another daughter that will also get about the same amount. Of course my wife gets first choice. Anyway, I just finished this one and since my wife get first choice, it is already hers Grandpadave52, DuckSoup, lew and 5 others 7 1 Quote
Ron Altier Posted December 4, 2018 Author Report Posted December 4, 2018 I had one heck of a time with the red bleeding over as I sanded. I think the light colored wood was much too poreus. It was a scrap and didn't think to check it out first. Cal 1 Quote
Popular Post Gene Howe Posted December 4, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted December 4, 2018 It's beautiful. Your wife has good taste. I cant see any bleeding. But, it's better that the color bled than you. You had 60+ ornaments to choose from??? You are amazing. Cal, Al B, Dadio and 2 others 5 Quote

I HAD about 100 ornaments. I don't like to duplicate. I did make 3 bird cages because I had too. I have to be fair when they all want one just like that one.

Gerald Posted December 4, 2018 Report Posted December 4, 2018 Another nice one. I have had some luck with blowing the piece off with air after some sanding but does not work everytime. Cal 1 Quote

You have a great vision to see a unique design that always accentuates the wood & finishes. Another one well done and a very wise man too Cal 1 Quote

Thanks Dave, will try that in the future. Do you have to stand on your head too and grab one foot? Just kidding, thanks for the help. Should have read the manual.
