March 22, 20197 yr Popular Post comment_183532 When finished with the last one I immediately thought I could do better..not just in a place or two. Maybe because it was easier than most of my projects. But maybe the reason I already had glued up and prepared the slab for the next project...and I think I wanted more wild color for the ole rooster to stand out in that crowd. So I'm at this stage right now.. I had already used biscuits between the boards so I am starting to see the row of boats again. I tried to stay above them but the edge tapering is bringing them out.

March 22, 20197 yr Author comment_183539 Gerald I think the color combinations next to each other is the key. Report

Then guys can says that looks too hard , I'll just keep watching soap on tv Right now, I'm just making a couple strange looking frames for the two laser burned family tree plaques. I'll try to get some pics of the process. Believe me, nothing I do is too hard. Learnin' is hard. Doin' it ain't. Report

March 24, 20197 yr Author comment_183813 I'm still shaping the pieces . Then I will start sanding them smooth then the coloring will just happen. Report
March 24, 20197 yr comment_183814 Jesse, pictures are coming soon. So as to not further hijack your thread, they will be in another one. Look for "weird picture frame". Report
March 25, 20197 yr comment_183924 That eye up close kind of creeps me out...sorta' the "stink eye" look. I had a White Rock rooster that used to give you that look...when he did, better look out, 'cause he was coming at you with his spurs. Can't wait to see this one in "full bloom." Report

I sure been learning about some strange happenings at the other bird feeders...the see through hanging clear plastic suspended feeders... Won't be any mowing here for a while...grass is still brownish yellow...that and you'd need helium in the tires or tracks to keep from sinking into the ground. At least five weeks away from hummingbird arrival here...feed them good Patch, they're going to need the extra bulk to stay warm once they arrive. Just keeping the feeders cleaned out & dry is about an every other day job. They don't like the red-tailed hawk either that's been hanging around lately. At least the dog has been getting a workout chasing the hawk when he flies over. Her view is restricted airspace...she intends to enforce it. Report
