Wifes woodworking first time

[WellSeasoned]

We cut a ton of wood yesterday, and she saw a piece (center of owl) that she wanted to keep as a picture frame. Well she decided to turn it into an owl, and a pretty good one at that! Here it is:

That's really cool, WS! She ought to start making them over the winter, and selling them on Craigslist. Betcha she could make some play money off of those.

How do you keep them from cracking?

How do you keep them from cracking?

I just asked her, and she said she don't know yet. She also said when she finds out, she'll let u know

 

[Hearth Mistress]

Use teak oil, just a quick rub down with a rag. They will soak it up and bring out the natural colors of the wood. Mineral oil works too, I use that on my cutting boards

 

[Eatonpcat]

Looks good...very creative!

 

[begreen]

That's pretty crafty. She has a good eye.

 

[Thistle]

I second the oil, use it on cutting boards here, too.

I sense a theme coming on your walls
