Dinosaur Puzzle / Diorama
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This is another Christmas present for a grandson. The plans are from Wood Magazine. I changed the plan and added a box underneath the puzzle base to store the pieces – empty the pieces out, replace the lid, turn it over and put the pieces together on the top. A great way to ship and store it. I made each dino out of a different wood to add color and figuring to each one, Zebrawood, Purpleheart, Sapele, Maple, Cherry and the mountains from walnut. I did find the purpleheart a little brittle – I had to make sure that there were no everly thin spots as I cut out the pieces. (since each dino is made from a single piece it meant starting that one over again. I tried a new-to-me finish this time. I mixed 1/3 Boiled Linseed oil / 1/3 Wipe-on Polyurethane / 1/3 Mineral oil. I poured this into a plastic dish and immersed each piece briefly, drained them and wiped them dry. Great results! Fun project, challenging scrollwork, great gift!
