Here are a few slims that I finished up earlier this week. Been knocked on my back the last 2 days with the flu which is why it took so long just to get the pic to a postable form. I believe I finished them on Tues eve.
The top one is box elder with just a hint of flame and spalt in it. (these box elder blanks are the only things I have regretted buyin on ebay. Simply not enough red or pink in them)
The middle one is cherry with a ziricote CB. It was soaked in a good amount of CA to strengthen it up. I had tried to do a pen from the blank that came from the same board and it blew apart. I like the start of the black line spalt in it.
The bottom one is Corian. I am not sure of the names of the colors. I made it from the pieces I got from Alice. I guess I'll do a fair amount of glue ups to make the 2 1/8th needed for slims. I did use the CA glue after wiping with DA to glue the two together. MM up through 12000 and a little of HUT plastic polish.
comments welcome. I know the photography needs improvement. but for now a new digicam is out of the question.
