Dog on it

[Jeff L Headley]

Dog gone it. I posted this picture in another thread. This is from a local period bow (wow) front though. Why walnut and then poplar? please notice the grain orientation.

Dog gone it! When hand sawing dovetails. Paw right to the line.

Dog on it! If you were going to build a Chippendale corner chair which leg would you like to have left? You would think it might be the right leg, but you might be wrong. Dog on it

Dog on it! Dog on it!

Hay Jeff,

Dog on it! Let's party till the cows come home... You could have at least opened one of the drawers and put some grain and hay in for the cows.  Usually when they come home they are looking for something to eat!

Dog on it! Dog under it! When you can't decide upon what foot to stand up on. Just figure a base in case you want to hold it all up on.

Wow, that was like Shakespeare meets Dr. Suess!  Possibly the first poem (?) about period furniture classes ever.  Very nice,

Dog on it,! Rob, Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein  might be a better anology, Dog on it.
No room like a show room!

Dog on it. In case you ever wanted to stop a Federal drawer in case how might you stop it? Don't leave your bench dog to take care of the problem. You might have paws to consider. When barking dogs lie it might be up the wrong tree.

Dog on it!!! I know most of my postings are silly but each and every picture could have a question attached. I will try not to lead anyone a stray. Each and every picture has several paths which you should have paws to consider weather the forecast will be sunny or ruff weather ahead. I don't want to send anyone barking up the wrung tree. Mistakes are how we all learn. Dog on it!!!

I usually use thin blocks of maple or hickory as stops, catching the back of the drawer front. Not sure how well terrier will work for that. Anyway, I always use sound wood, never "bark" for a stop.

I must say I enjoyed the doggerel and photos as well.
