Here is a view Grumpy and his message set solidly in place.

If you look closely, you can see where I played with the grain all through the layout of the piece.
The sap lines in the upper and lower frame, form a "circular" pattern.
The lighter grain flows across the lettering, and would continue if the letters were all in line.
The circular pattern continues thru Grumpy with the lighter grain.
I love to play with the grain patterns in the wood, and try and do so in all my projects. The Drawer fronts in my Gunsmith's Box is a good example.
I took HOURS to cut each drawer front, but it paid off.

If you do decide to bang some hand drive finish nails in there, I would drill holes for the nails.
They may split your finely made letters.

The one I just bought goes to 2" in 18ga..I also bought a box of 5,000 "slight head brads" that are 1 3/16" in length for some bird houses and feeders I am building. Drove a bunch and not one miss-fire..,How can you beat it for the price???

When I saw the message, I thought it was shop furniture. But then I found out it was a toybox for a 2 yo. Well, it works for shop furniture too--especially in my shop which always seems to be "less than neat".
RE: Uh Oh... - BrokenOlMarine - 12-14-2017
I love that, maybe I should put the same message across the front of my shop cabinets...
You know... to be fair and all.

Looks great, and what a funny concept for a message on the top of a kid's toy chest!
RE: Uh Oh... - BrokenOlMarine - 12-15-2017
Kingwood, thats the front, the top is a bench seat. It's just laying on its back for the installation.

I figured i'd be seeing the bench top toy box back for repair over the years. If I keep carving, the front can change. "You're Grounded!"
Fair enough. Definitely beautiful work.

I had a scrap of the walnut left over, and the underside of the lid called to me.
Now, when they open the toy box to put away toys, POW... my granddaughter's name is RIGHT there.
POW... Isla... oops, WE call her Izzy... and since Grumpy made the toy box... guess what it screams....

Nice work.
Jim, are you going to put an anti-slam gizmo on that by chance?
