hand carved signage: framed
I’m adding this puppy to my line….2 pics here. First is just the carving and the second shows it framed.
8×10 image….carved pine with black stain. The glass has the "matt" painted on the back of the glass and the beveled gild is on the front.
Takes about 4 hrs total.
Joe,
Makin Chips and Havin fun!

Mate, that is smashing! It looks brilliant in a nice frame.
Not too bad for a beginner, I s’pose. 😉

Very small intricate work Joe
Just love those flourishes -
oh that is just beautiful
and I can imagine that the matt painted ont he backside with the gilded frame on the front must add a nice dimensional look to it.and off topic
Joe, what does makin chips mean? 😮 😀

Thanks everyone! 🙂
"Makin Chips and Havin Fun!"
Leigh, that’s what I do for a living (the makin chips part).
I take a board and using gouges and a knife, I dig a hole in it. To dig the hole I make wood chips with the tools. Therefore, I’m makin chips! 🙂
All kidding aside, making chips is what this craft is about. If you can’t make every kind of chip, you are limited.I was at this level of craftsmanship 30 years ago. The only thing that has changed is what I present for sale. For me, and I’m sure for you and everyone who makes something original to sell, (after a few years of experience) the challenge is not the technology, it’s about originality and design……………and marketing………and hard work.
Oh, and BTW, the funnist part is get to sell the hole!!!!!!!!!! 😀
Every thing I "make" I throw away!!!!!!!!! 😉
Joe,
Makin Chips and Havin Fun!
