Cosby sweater..

Day sixteen.

Ok so today I'm adding some process shots here, per suggestion. A bunch of little strips of wood.. Cut thin and sanded.

Wood is then glued and clamped for bit...

After dried, you're left with this mess..

Cut down, shaped and sanded..

Holes for rivets are drilled. Rivets are then glued in and filed flush..

Sand, sand, sand and then sand a bit more.. Voila!

This is made with pieces of laminated veneer cut into veneer. Gives it that Bill Cosby sweater look. I still need to put some finish on it. I have plans to apply Tung oil this evening. This veneer thing is working out pretty sweet.

Riveted lamination.

Day fifteen.

Halfway today! Woo hoo! Another laminated wood pendant. Four pieces of wood laminated together in a teardrop shape. The weight is on the top while the piece tapers toward the bottom. There are rivets that go through the piece to both sides. Very excited about this guy.

Only an hour late..

Day twelve.

So here is a puzzle box of sorts. There's only one pin that is removable, which when removed allows the box to be opened. I had made a bandsaw box when I was younger that worked very similar to this. I'd really love to put some wood inlay on this. There are definitely some details that need addressing on this little guy. I'll try to work on a new one over the next couple days and get it posted here.
