Just wanted to send you a couple pictures of a Pie Safe that I finished
making for my wife. I had ordered some
Signature Medallions
from you a
while back, and thought you might like to see the finished product with
medallion.
Everyone likes the medallion. I had been using a Sharpie permanent marker
to sign my pieces for some time, but the medallion adds an extra touch of
class to a project.
The drawer sides are maple. I ended up drilling a 1-1/8" diameter hole for
the medallion (instead of 1"), then I made a "cup" or ring on my lathe from
walnut to fit in the 1-1/8" hole. The inside dimension as you can guess is
1". I think the walnut highlights the medallion even more and adds a nice
highlight to make the light colored medallion stand out against a light
colored background. I like it so much I think I'm going to start using a
"cup" for all my projects.
