The Unicorn Puzzle
The Unicorn Puzzle
I used reclaimed pine for this Unicorn
I decided to lighten him with pickling using a shellac sealer. I think that he turned out well and still shows the grain of the wood.
This Unicorn is 9.5" tall X 7.5" wide and is .75" thick.
The 2 pictures with the green background are of him standing.

Dragon 2
This 2nd dragon was just a little more of a challenge to cut on the scroll saw. The intricacy was a step up for me.
I'm sure that that challenge will be just as much fun forfor those that try to put the puzzle together too.

Dragon Over The Edge Puzzle
This isn't another Elf on a Shelf.
It's a dragon puzzle and the interlinking pieces make for an interesting over the edge concept.
The dragon is 7 1/4" tall and 8 1/4" long. It's made from 3/4" reclaimed trim pine.
It has been lightly sanded to remove hard edges and finished with several coats of polyurethane. The more use the puzzle gets, the easier the interlocking will become.
Made by Farsider's Carvings
Puzzled?
Building a plot.
Cool Dragon
The Interlocking pieces allow for it to hang over a shelf edge without falling apart.

Headless Horseman Wood Carving
This is one of my favorite pieces to carve. It's also one of my best sellers.
Halloween Spookies
Here they are. My collection of Spookies. They are all made from reclaimed furniture-grade 1/4" plywood, painted with acrylics and finished with several coats of Polyurethane. I drilled a small 1/8" holes in the Skull, spider, and bat so that they could be hung with string or fishing line. I also added some googly eyes to a few of the characters.
These will be sold as a set in my Etsy shop. Each set will sell for 30.00 plus shipping. I had 4 sets. One has already been taken so 3 are left.

Kitchen Makeover
Kitchen Makeover
Pine Drawer and door fronts.
Before Shots
Kitchen base is shot
New Countertops, sink base, Granite Tile. I'm actually swapping out the old dishwasher for one that I got from another remodel that I had done several years ago.
New sink base.
My wife wanted a single sink. With the 2" thick new countertop, The clips that come to mount this type of sink to the underside of the countertop didn't work. The new sink is siliconized in. The spackle bucket is weighing it down overnight.
My wife wanted a single sink instead of a double. That required new plumbing. I had a defective flexible compression line that I had to return. I have never had a problem with the modern compression lines before. I am actually a big fan of them.
The replacement dishwasher is a Maytag. I will have to change the water inlet on it.
New Doors and Drawer Fronts
I found black crystal knobs on Amazon which I ordered and installed. I thought they'd be a nice accent to the new countertops.
The next stage will be a new floor in which I may go with a vinyl plank for, new kickplates, a subway tile backsplash and then paint. I'll probably do the walls in a light gray and soffits with a light blue.
Cost so far as materials are concerned, about 750.00.
