difalkner Posted July 17, 2020 Report Posted July 17, 2020 These two aren't related but I just wanted to offer up what I did yesterday. The V-bit carving is for our church office manager. They have three dogs but I guess Ruger is the most photogenic. This is cut into Maple and is about 6" x 10". The US Flag is for my 16-year old nephew. He asked for a simple one he can hang on his wall and this should work just fine. It's about 21" across and made of Baltic Birch. I just think it's awesome that a 16-year old wants a US Flag on his wall! Both are finished with Nitrocellulose sanding sealer, then wiped with Mohawk Van Dyke Brown glazing stain which is wiped off about as soon as I apply it, then the final coat is semi-gloss lacquer. The finish takes less than an hour from bare wood to finished piece. David Fred W. Hargis Jr, Cal, p_toad and 1 other 4 Quote
difalkner Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Posted July 19, 2020 I just realized that I typed this when my daughter was visiting and correctly referred to him as her nephew so that's what I typed, but... the flag is for my grandson. Oops! David p_toad, Gunny and Cal 3 Quote

Masonsailor Posted November 10, 2020 Report Posted November 10, 2020 David what software are you using ? Paul Quote
difalkner Posted November 10, 2020 Author Report Posted November 10, 2020 For those I used Carveco. Most of my work is done in Fusion 360 but these are far more suited to Carveco. David Quote
