Neal told me I need to make projects that he could take to work and hang up in his cubicle so people would see them, question, and perhaps wish to own one. With the football seasons right around the corner, I thought I would show some team spirit with a lil whittling. (This design would have to be gifted).
So far I have come up with a design, carved it out, and put two coats of stain on it.
What's next: outline black, white laces and stripes, blue horseshoe, and white horseshoe detail.
I always come up with these designs with a perfect picture in my head and this one, just as the last, is shaping up just nicely.
I am hoping to have this done by tomorrow so that Neal has something new to hang in his cubicle.
This is the size of an actual football and is 1/4" thick.
I must give props up to my Dad for coming home from work with a headache and cutting almost 20lbs of basswood into 1/4" and 1/2" strips for me.
Update: Finished product up on top.
