Serving trays and a "Nativity mirror". The tray in the first picture is personalized with an Old English monogram. The mirror is a thin plywood scroll saw nativity scene on a mirror backing. The frame is pine and walnut with a lacquer finish. The small piece under the scroll work is olive wood from the holy land. Tough taking a picture of a mirror. :wallbash:
Ill be posting up some christmas gifts here soon as well. Nice thing about being a well stocked wood worker, you can make your gifts instead of having to bother with shopping.
The scroll work is attached with a very thin yet very adhesive double sided tape. It comes on a roll about 6" wide, and I just cut small pieces to adhere to the back of the various parts of the scroll work, then peal the backing and press in place. I use it to attach metal to metal, metal to painted surfaces, metal & wood to glass, etc. Works great for attaching decals printed on an inkjet and sealed with packing tape also.
What brand? I've looked for some like that and haven't found any to my liking. Either it's too cushiony and thick or it's thin but not near adhesive enough.
Homemade gifts are awesome really shows how much you care when you put so much effort into making something yourself that you know they're going to like. Great stuff!
Those were the offcuts from making the other three mantel style clocks. I left the sawmill marks and natural edges in the finished product. These were the ends of some 2"X 12" walnut planks.
