Title: Just in time for Christmas
Post by: Crittergetter on December 21, 2016, 03:24:00 PM
Just finished this one up for a Christmas present. A lady at the concrete company wanted one for her husband.   (http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k359/crittergetter76/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-12/1F9367C0-89EE-46ED-8632-C189B291E931_zpsk2suhbt1.jpg) (http://s324.photobucket.com/user/crittergetter76/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-12/1F9367C0-89EE-46ED-8632-C189B291E931_zpsk2suhbt1.jpg.html)   (http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k359/crittergetter76/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-12/517FEC74-2E2D-4325-936E-A52E29E31C44_zps2hdksoc9.jpg) (http://s324.photobucket.com/user/crittergetter76/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-12/517FEC74-2E2D-4325-936E-A52E29E31C44_zps2hdksoc9.jpg.html)   (http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k359/crittergetter76/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-12/D811C87B-3714-4683-A0AB-4613EB091B64_zpsf8mrxfet.jpg) (http://s324.photobucket.com/user/crittergetter76/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-12/D811C87B-3714-4683-A0AB-4613EB091B64_zpsf8mrxfet.jpg.html)   (http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k359/crittergetter76/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-12/CB695CBB-4B16-4502-9A72-3471F5B45CA2_zpsx6vdelmf.jpg) (http://s324.photobucket.com/user/crittergetter76/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-12/CB695CBB-4B16-4502-9A72-3471F5B45CA2_zpsx6vdelmf.jpg.html)

That guy is going to have one memorable Christmas.    Great job!  I love the wood combination in the riser.

Beautiful work!  That curly maple makes me think of an old Bob Thompson Zipper Zipstick longbow I had...
That guy will be a happy camper!

Thx everyone. Just to clarify, that's Koa and Cocobolo in the riser and Koa veneers.  The two coco accents is from the same piece, There was a big change in color in that one piece of wood.

All you have to do now is get 'em to the North Pole and hope the fat guy in red is careful getting them down the chimney!

What an wonderful thing to find under the tree.

Great job.
