EVIDENCE that I got this far

[doug webb]

My first try at this was several years ago on a piece of spalted oak. Suffice to say that it did NOT look like this in the end. More like a mangled starfish. This is ready for it's alcahol soak. I just wanted proof that I got this far.........just in case.....You never know. Pretty wood, Mr. Hart.

[Jim Dunn]

Very nice Doug! Well thought out planning.

[Bernie Weishapl]

That is very cool Doug. Well thought out plan. Can't wait to see it finished.

[Ernie Nyvall]

Yea, I want to see that finished Doug. Really cool. Nice wood too.

[Andy Hoyt]

Cool! My Three Legged Monster will have a four legged cousin.

[doug webb]

My thanks to all of you for your kind words. Andy, I figure with four legs it ought to "stand up " to any flavor of ice cream.

[Dick Parr]

That is cool Doug, I sure hope it holds together for ya during the soak. I sure want to see it when you are done. Nice job.

[John Hart]

Can't wait Doug!! Did the wood have some of that red stain to it as well? Doesnt seem to fade on the pieces I've done so far. Neat project...hope she survives!:)

[doug webb]

John, No red stain in the two I have done so far. The other was a smaller block and got a large spiral gouge in it as I started to part it off. Another for the reject pile. It will hold pencils.....

[Greg Scott]

I get skeered just looking at that thing. Did you cut the feet with a jigsaw after the initial hollowing out of the bottom?

[doug webb]

No jigsaw........just the lathe. You stay very aware of where your fingers are.
