Tenth Street Studio

Tenth Street Studio Wood products and laser engraving First and foremost, this is a hobby to me. I'm not out to make my fortune with this.

If I can pay for my materials and a little extra to cover some of my time and labor, I'm fine with that. Hopefully, that will translate into an attractive price for what I offer. But I'm also aware that I am trying to produce quality products with hobby sized equipment. That might mean, for instance, taking several lighter cuts at a slower pace to get the same result as some of the more production

-oriented producers out there. Quite honestly, there are some very good producers out there, I'll be the first to tell you. And I don't feel like I'm in competition with any of them. I'm happy to be part of a creative community in this area and I think we all support each other in our own way. But I do enjoy taking your idea and trying to exceed your expectations. I am happy to try and repoduce exactly what you describe, but also like to find ways to expand on those ideas as well, giving you more options to choose from. Let me know what you are looking for and I will mock up ideas to find the right solution for your needs.

We're ready for you out here at Junk 'N' Disorderly 3rd Saturday Flea Market at the mall in Mt Vernon. We'll be here from 9:00 until 3:00 today, and it's air conditioned!

And I built another bullet board! It's a serving tray, roughly 12x16 and sealed in epoxy resin. These sell fast, so don't delay!

I was running low on crosses so I made a few more this week. This time I mounted the larger ones on some live edge Walnut that I had on hand. The three 14" tall crosses are Walnut, Padauk and Mahogany. I also made a couple of smaller 7" tall crosses, carved from a solid 4x4.

I'll have these and lots more this Saturday at the Junk 'N' Disorderly 3rd Saturday Flea Market in the mall at Mt Vernon, 9:00 to 3:00.

Mark your calendars! Sep 12!

On a totally unrelated note: Ol' Dave still has no love of heights!

I've got Big Feet! Er... I mean, I've got Bigfoots! Wait, no... I've got Sasquatches! Yeah, that's it!

I decided to end the week with all things Bigfoot. Remember, everybody needs a Bigfoot hanging over their door for good luck! (Horseshoes are so last week)

I decided to capture some of the process of making these small pictures. The decision came too late to include the laser cutting of all the pieces. But you see here we have a backing layer, a layer with all of the geometric backgrounds, and the layer that has the image and frame that goes on top.

All of the background pieces are individually stained before gluing onto the backing board. You'll notice that there are mounting holes lasered into the backing board and background frame that are hidden by the top frame.

These are all 4-3/4"x11", suitable for hanging or leaning on a shelf.

Another porch sign completed this week. The artwork was supplied, isn't that cool design?
