Gorgeous, Chris. Just gorgeous.

Obviously a glue-up - did you scrounge for dry stock, or did you just grab what ever was lying around?

[Bob Noles]

Chris,

Y'all got some strange 2X4's up Nawth. There is no wey we could get them finished dimensions out of a Gawga 2X4 :eek: :D

Nice project and appreciate showing it to us. Just wish I could get a 2X4 to look that nice :p


Note to self: Just got to find out how these folks are doing these cool things :) Also need to check on Andy... he is looking and acting stranger by the day, I really think he is letting Ken get to him.

[Jim Dunn]

Andy's OK and so is that 2x4 hollow form. Andy's just seeing himself in the mirror for the first time. Nice inventions like that seem to skirt the NE.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Very nice Chris. Love the finish on it. Great work.

[Bernie Weishapl]

By the way Andy I went to the shop and got my clock timer. Your Tick Tock's are out of beat. :eek:

[Travis Stinson]

Now THAT'S a fine 2 x4!:eek: Super job and great finish.:cool:

[Robert Mickley]

Pretty darned nice for a 2x4. Even plain old lumber can be something great.

[Karl Laustrup]

That is a great looking piece Chris. :)

Well, now there's no reason to throw those scraps of 2x4 into the fire either. Gonna be some cold people with nothing to burn. :eek: :D

Great looking Segmented piece! I had to look real close to see all the pieces. Wow. How'd you do in the contest?

Yea Bob, he's comin apart at the seams. His evil side is breaking away from his other evil side.:D

Sorry for the side step Chris. That is one beauty for sure. Outsie the box for what one would think of doing with a 2x4. Thanks for showing.

[Mark Cothren]

Looks great! Especially for a 2x4...:D

Thanks for the picture!

[Richard Gillespie]

At my present level of experience, there's no way I'm going to get a 2"X4" to look like that. NICE JOB!

[Bill Stevener]

Chris,

Thanks for the link. Those are some awesome projects and all made from the lowly 2X4. I find that to be very unique and creative.

Thanks for sharing.

[Dave Fifield]

Nice work Chris! Just shows what can be done with plain wood. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
