Conchita, I keep saying this, don't I?!
I could do not much today, but on reflection
I may have done a lot.
Frist thing in the morning I took care of
those that had gone mat and then I had to
take my wife to her Christmas gathering.
That cosumed quite a lot of my time. On return,
I made one template (no image), and then
got on with my cutting work.
Seen below is the large piece I worked on.
That was sliced into these above, and that took me
smething like one hour or longer. I then had to
transcrive my template, then cutting them out
using a jigsaw.
Above showing you the result. There are 24 of them here.
My decision last night was that after all I should
make the stems side banded with walnut. These pieces
here are oak.
There are at least three more processes,
in fact four if you include cementing of the side bands.
1) Make the outlines exact by sanding
2 Make the stem surfaces smooth so that
cementing is effective
3) Cut out walnut pieces into more or lee
tringular shape to go with the stem side profile
So, Conchita, you know how things take time.
I am feeling like to cry one your shoulder,
or better still on your up top!
As I told you my working hours are from 10:00
to 16:00. I still had some time, so continued
with my egg placers.
These need refinement work, of course. Howeve,
I am slowly getting there. My current idea is
that I will complete 12 of these and stop there.
I have, then, four more to complete, and if they sell
at all I will star working on the remaining 10
or so pieces. I do not want to waste my time,
working on things that do not sell...
Conchita, so much on today's work!
Vaya con Dios!
