Image/Photo Thread Of Any Images You Would Like To Share....

[giradman]

Hi Diane - glad to see the pics of your inlayed box - below I just included two of the four (were several pretty much duplicate shots?) - in the two images shown, I see the defect in just one, so wondering if the box has several inlayed sides (or top/bottom) or just how the photos came out?

The defect would need to be 'filled' w/ either a small piece of matching wood or some type of wood filler (again matched for color); NOW, the hard part is how to 'repair' the finish - since I'm not sure what the 'original' finish was to start (e.g. oil vs. shellac vs. varnish vs. lacquer) - which can be tested 'in person', then hard for me to make a recommendation. Of course, the other option would be to 'remove' the original finish (how depends on what it may be?) and simply put on a new one.

BTW - just for clarification concerning the inlay pic of the box that I sent you in a PM - I did not do the work, i.e. a purchased Shaker oval box from the NC mountains.

So, you'll probably need 'someone' (w/ woodworking & wood finishing skills) to examine the box and offer suggestions - about all that I can advise - not of much help but thanks for sharing. Dave

Hi, I'm hoping Dave can help me with this, or anyone ense!? This is the inlay Dave did for his wife!
These other photos are of my box with and with out flash. The inlay that's missing is VERY HARD to see. It is just off the center line horizontally as well as vertically. I went back to the box to see for myself which one is missing it is a triangle. Thanks, Dave, hope you r having lots of fun on your holiday. If you know of a better way to photograph it please let me know! Thanks so much, Diane
PS, you can see the crack down the middle, should I use oil or lacquer to preserve it, if that is possible!? Thanks again, Diane

I think this one is better.

That's right.

It's always hard to decide which one to choose. I always take more than one picture of something I see. There's a slight difference, most of the time. There was a soft breeze last evening, and the web was moving. Here are two pictures (it seems they are better than the one I posted yesterday):







The app makes them worse, though. Too bad!

I like the spider one better, the darker one of the two. I just feel it more as a nature shot with a hint of drama by mother nature; hope that doesn't sound waffly Trying to be very pretentiously technical here but to me the first one is very good, colour-wise and sharp with very skillful depth of-field control, but I feel that red spot (a poppy?) tends to distract the eye away from the main subject. Both are absolutely wonderful for wallpaper!!

Thank you!

I couldn't find a translation for "waffly". Does it mean something like "chatty", or is it something completely different?

Yes, the red spot on the second photo is a poppy. I didn't want to crop it. It would have taken parts of the sunlit wild plants as well.
Without a wallpaper app, they both don't look good. Just my opinion. You can try yourself, if you want to, though.

Being "waffly" is another one of those Australian sayings designed to confuse the world.

This is the effect on someone who has listened to someone been waffly;
I reckon they both DO look good (I've even pinched the first spider web one for wallpaper, I hope you don't mind And now I'm imagining you checking the dictionary for "pinched".

Dave,
Thank for your time. Lots of photo's because I couldn't get one to shoe the inlay properly. It has some form of metal just at the edge's of the inlaid.
Lucky I live nearby a Red Seal, journeyman carpenter. The darker photo's show the kind of distress this box is in.
Would you suggest anything else better ( to protect the main words )
Are you familiar with wood lay set with a fine line of metal than ie? Thanks, again sincerely , Diane..

So you create words, just to confuse us? ;-)
I don't need to check for "pinched". I've seen it a few times in leelai's posts, and I can imagine what it means, although I didn't search for it. I don't mind if you use it.

Lol....we Aussies have our own special vocabulary you will find!

Certainly makes it interesting at times hey Andrew??

I just figured waffly was a way of saying a person was always waffling; constantly changing their opinion, or failing to form an opinion.

Hi Diane - thought the inlay was all wood (hard to tell from the pics) - if just strips of metal on the edges, then should not be a problem, but I'm no expert on doing inlays (whether plain wood or a combination).

The appearance of the wood is quite 'blotchy', often seen in cherry (which this may be) or poorly stained pine (which this might also be - just not sure from the pics). I cannot offer any further advice w/o 'testing' the piece (e.g. alcohol dissolves shellac, lacquer thinner w/ lacquer, oil finishes lighten w/ mineral spirits, and varnishes/polyurethanes would be unaffected w/ any of those mentioned previously). As you state above, try to have someone there take a look - good luck. Dave

What I found online, is a little bit different, but it's British English:
waffle
If you say that someone waffles, you are critical of them because they talk or write a lot without actually making any clear or important points. (BRIT)
