Post by: groomporter on October 24, 2015, 09:42:09 AM
Working on a "up-scaling" a used table to be Celtic themed Ouija Table. 36" in diameter

And started using a Tumblr account as a sort of diary for my work. Instagram makes it quick and easy to upload pics as I go.

Done except for final touch-up and a small detail before sealing it. Next is to design a matching planchette. For some annoying reason the quick video I took got flipped upside down when I loaded it to Facebook

I had so many compliments that I did another table with the same design, but without the Ouija board. I'll have them both for sale at our MNRF booth this season if someone doesn't scoop them up before then.

Next project is a 3' x 5' table with a Tree of Life motif

OH I just found a ground score that someone was throwing away. It's an oak table that was in a neighborhood alley. I have a coffee table that matches it so I'm planning on doing the same design on them and offering them as a set.

Humbug. The buyer for my music themed table turned out to be a scam. They sent a check for more than the agreed amount "by mistake" and wanted us to cash it, keep my portion, and deposit the rest "cash" into their account. Their account was with Wells Fargo where we bank and the banker could tell right off that the cashier's check was phony.
