the rest of plywood crafting.

So there was lots of plywood crafting to be done this Christmas season but it is now complete. Mostly plywood signs about mountains. Pretty much entirely plywood signs about mountains.

Including (but not limited to) - peeling off more paper label letters to complete the aforementioned (in the previous post) sign -



And finished!


To making J's Christmas present -



To a different idea... calling up the help of some coworkers at the printshop (my old stomping grounds) to fire up the big ol' flatbed printer and test printing on plywood some designs I threw together. I had quickly primed the wood the night before (though the printer has a white ink cartridge it didn't really work very well in our first round of testing - so I opted to just paint the wood white).

They came out looking (dare I say) pretty darn cool...


(that one of Mount Baker is about 20x30"... )


I quick applied a clear finish to them, drilled the backs and... finished! Trouble is I want to make more... luckily I have another four-foot square sheet of crap plywood ready to be cut to whatever size(s) necessary!
