My PITH to Samelias Dad

[Drstrangefart]

I made this over Thanksgiving break, and I was actively pushing to get a PITH pen done. This was the first time I'd touched a coping saw, and I tried REALLY hard to keep those flame figures on both barrels. I loved the second one popping up on the top barrel. I got confirmation that it got there safely, and its new owner should be posting probably better pics to boot. I used paduak and purple heart inlays in soft maple on a Trimline. CA finish.

Very creative, great contrast between the maple, paduak and purple heart.

Interesting I am thinking you may get nominated for another meeting demo. Did you have to heat it or soak it?

Thanks! I need to get a camera set up at some point do the tutorials. Others on here are WAAAY better at it than I am. I go that one done immediately after Jeff Powell (If that's right) gave me some really good advice on them. And I haven't been able to get those kind of results again yet.
