Love is in the air!

With the arrival of summer you can bet there will be a lot of couples planning for their "special" day.  If you are part of the planning committee it just might be the right time to sort out any special decorations you might need.  

Wedding Paque

Don Harding just finished this lovely wedding gift for  his Grandson. He used models for the Be Mine No.1 and No.2 projects to create this layout.

"10 x 19 x 1 cherry wood . 9 Hours"

What a final project that will surely be cherished for years to come. 

Don's layout could have been easily used as a wedding sign to be hung over a guestbook or to welcome guest as they arrive.

If you are attending the wedding as a guest that day will arrive, you know the day, when you have to sort out what to get the couple for a gift.  Now if you have been married for a few years it's always a good idea to have an anniversary gift ready to go, just in case you are a bit foggy on the date.

 

 

James Patton sent in these next two lovely, almost finished, and finished projects.  This first one could easily be used for an anniversary gift, wedding plaque or gift.

"The hearts from Be Mine No.2. Haven’t quite figured out the finish I want on the second one, but the lettering was done in the 18kt gold plate..."

That gold leaf sure looks nice.  What a great touch! 

 

Happily, Ever, After

"And I thought I loved you then... 21 years later more than ever!"

 

"Here’s a piece carved from the Be Mine No.2 project. Made it for our anniversary ( only been married a year, but been together for 21..lol) Stole the wording from your site. It was carved in red oak...then stained cabernet, some light coats of semi gloss and then hit the outer edges of the heart with some gold rub n buff. Lettering was stained with ebony..About 8" diameter..."

What a great gift and it turned out wonderfully!

Tim Babb, from The Woodworking Maniak, created this lovely box for Valentine's Day for his wife. 

Valentine's Day box

 It's a great project and seeing as he has a YouTube channel you can see exactly how he made it.

Tim used the Be Mine No.2 project to create his layout and finished box.

Keep in mind this easily could have been a ring box for a wedding or a wedding gift with just a quick change of the v-carving on the top.

Thank you Don, James and Tim for sharing these great projects!

John's updated wet bar... is pretty wild!

Using the Wildlife Scenes Collection John Mordus totally transformed his wet bar into some pretty nice looking storage!

After the transformation!

Before

"I finally broke down and got the wildlife series.

These are not very original as far as the layout but I redid my wet bar and
turned it into a more useful use of space. So I tried a little 3d carving
on the maple cabinet doors. Don't think it turned out too very bad. Bet I
got the only doors like this on the block!"

John we are pretty sure everyone will agree they look fantastic!

Around the World starting in Don's shop.

Ready to be impressed? Don Harding got this to us in record time after receiving the new Around the World USA CNC Project.

The material Don used was Poplar.

The material Don used was Poplar.

He used the Assembled Layout to make this wonderful carving. The finished size is 19" x 15" and about .9" thick. The roughing and finishing passes it to 6 hours using a 1/8" ballnose endmill for the finishing cut.

We can't wait to see it finished!

Thanks for sharing Don!

Don liked it so much her carved it again in pine!

Thank you Don for sharing this projects with us!  Keep up the great work.
