>Who do I ask, Dave or Molly ?

How does one sand all those little carved depressions ?

>With an itsy bitsy piece of sand paper. It takes hours, but well worth the effort! Okay, NOT! The piece has to be well sanded prior to any hammering. When I brand a portion of a piece I don't sand, since the brand burns and textures, however if I'm going to hammer a texture you must sand the whole piece first. Any flaw, major or minor will show up glaringly once hammered. The other trick is to oil the wood prior to hammmering in order to moisten the fibers. This helps prevent the fibers from breaking when the hammer hits it. They'll bend, but not break.

Dave, you've turned this little guy from a lemon to a plum! Nicely done.

>Hello Arch,

Thanks for the kind words.

Buy the way, you can spell it anyway you want, I have been had it mangled much worse. I used to get the envelope from Publishers Clearing House with the name of Dove Weebles on it. And I still never won the big price. :)

Thanks,

Dave

Sanding

Dave Peebles Lyons, Ohio!

>Hi Bill,

For my part, there was no sanding. It was done with a Dremel tool and a fine ball cutter. The surface was really good right off the tool.

My part was the texturing and coloring of the fields within the burned black lines.

Molly gets a really unique effect with her burning tool. It really jumps out at you when you see it in person.

Best wishes,

Dave

Thanks Molly

>Thanks for the explanation. My question was provoked by trying to figure out how to sand a textured piece done with the carbide 4 in. cutter.
