My second attempt at marquetry

[jaym]

New member here, been reading for quite some time. This is a humidor I made for a friend of mine with the Philadelphia Eagles logo. Let me know what you think.

An impressive first post - welcome. Can you tell us some more about the box? The size, timbers used, etc.

soth:cool:

[chrisb691]

I would be happy with the result....well done.

[jaym]

Box is padauk, veneers are birdseye maple, walnut and wenge. Dimensions are 9"x 11"

JayM, Great job:2tsup: , need more photos and larger ones.

Thanks, here are a couple of more pics. Also included a second humidor I recently made for a wedding gift, not real crazy about how the top came out, but the flame maple looks cool.

I like that second humidor, especially the top. You might dislike it because it's not exactly what you expected, but I reckon it's great.

[jaym]

Thanks for the kind words. The one I'm working on now is the most difficult by far, the US Marine Corps logo, over 200 pieces.

[Harry72]

Certainly some very nice work mate, looking forward to the next installment!

[paul collins]

very nice jayM looking forward to your marine logo.:2tsup:

[jaym]

Well the Marines humidor is just about finished, made a number of mistakes along the way, but I guess that is part of the process. The top is ash, dyed black, maple and some other stuff that I can't remember now. Box is maple burl with wenge accents.

Hey Jaym, Looks good. I have attached a drawing Corel X3 If you can't open it let me know which program you use (if any). The drawing is a vector line drawing of a rope border, may be of some help? Anyway your work looks :2tsup:

Take care Dennis

Yeah, that's more what I was aiming for, I'll get it right next time. Forgive my ignorance, but what is a vector line drawing?

[DPerry]

Jaym, well it's used on cnc or laser cutting machines. Now, you don't think I cut 1,400+ parts on a scrollsaw:oo:

If you did, :2tsup: your work is fantastic:2tsup: :2tsup: and my drawing will not help.

[jaym]

Oh gotcha, I just use my little craft knife and a lot of patience.

[jaym]

Here is a extremely blurry progress pic of my next one, the ribbon will wrap around all four sides of the box.

[DPerry]

Great idea, waiting for photo:)

[jaym]

After much trial and error this is the design I've decided to go with, still in the beginning stages, but figured I would give you guys a sneak peak.

Thats really nice work, congratulations, well done

JayM, Great job:2tsup:
