i havent posted in a while, but i promise i've been busy!
thought i'd post a pic of some steps i've made for our oldest of the litter, noah. he's a mut that looks like a flat coated retriever and my wife and i have noticed that he sometimes hesitates when jumping our bed. we also sleep with a chocolate lab. EVERYBODY'S cozy at our house!
anywhoo... i made these out of some scrap mahogony and spalted sycamore. i resaw'd the sycamore for some book matched panels. thought i'd experiment with the spalting a little. finished with blo and poly. the step treads are 1/2" luan trimmed with mahogany. we plan on adding a runner of sorts to the treads for some traction. they measure over all 27"tall by 21" deep. steps are 9" risers and 7" treads.
so far he's taken to them quite well. any critiques at all are more than welcome! i'm gonna make a fervent effort to post more. i enjoy seeing everyone elses work so much, i wanna get back in the fun!
thanx all!
