Que tal amigos resorterontes!

Aquí les subo unas imagenes de una de las consentidas, tambien de encino, y en algún otro post un compañero me solicitaba mostrar imágenes de la rama antes de trabajarla, aquí les pongo un par de ellas.

Espero complacer su pupila ...jeje!

Here I upload some pictures of one of the consensual, also of oak, and in some other post I asked a colleague to show images of the branch before it was exploited, here I put a couple of them.

I hope to please his pupil ...LOL!

Very nice! I made an oak natural a while back. It has the same cracks like your shooters. Do you have them always on your oak forks?

Me honran con sus palabras amigos.

I am honored with your words friends

De nada mi amigo, usualmente sí saco algunas fotos de las horquetas antes de trabajarlas y así ver su transformación, sólo que no había subido ninguna.

You're welcome my friend, usually if I take some pictures of the forks before work and see his transformation as well, just had not uploaded any.

Gracias amigos, me alegra mucho que les gusten mis horquetas, no le hace que me sienta como un gusano... un gusano barrenador jejeje!

Thanks folks, I am so glad you like my forks, even when I feel like a worm ... a screwworm ..lol



Frodo

Espero responder a tu pregunta, tienes razón, el encino es propenso a agrietarse si no es cuidado el proceso de secado, a mi tambien me ha pasado que ya terminada la horqueta se abre en alguna sección, lo que he aprendido es a ser un poco más paciente para trabajar la horqueta bien seca, y en ocasiones aún así se agrietan. la medida que he tomado es dejar los extremos algo sobrados y sellar las puntas con resistol o pintura y olvidarme un rato de ellas por más ansioso que esté, y las dejo con corteza y en un lugar seco, ventilado, y a la sombra.


Otra cosa al respecto de la veta y el color de la madera, me he dado cuenta que cuando la rama es verde, regularmente adquiere un color ambar similar al pino, y sí la rama es vieja o madura tiende a los colores cafés, y de encontrarte alguna rama que secó al intemperie suele impregnarse de colores caprichosos según el clima y condiciones de luz y sombra. Y el veteado también está relacionado con la edad de la rama, el grosor, la especie del encino, y la forma de la horquilla o bifurcación (regular o torcida)


Y por ultimo dejarlas un par de días en aceite de linaza para sellar y resatar el veteado de la madera


Sólo espero que el traductor no distorsione mucho el sentido del texto.


I hope to answer your question, you're right, the oak is prone to cracking if not careful the drying process, I also happened to me already completed the fork is opened in a section, what I've learned is to be a little more patient to work the fork very dry, and sometimes still cracked. I've taken so far is to leave something envelope and seal ends the ends with glue or paint and forget them for a while more anxious you are, and let them bark and in a dry, ventilated, and shaded.

Another thing about the grain and color of the wood, I've noticed that when the branch is green, amber takes on a regular basis similar to pine, and if the branch is old or mature tends to brown, and find a branch to dry the weather is often imbued with whimsical colors for the weather and conditions of light and shadow. And the grain is also related to the age of the branch, the thickness, the species of oak, and the shape of the fork or branching (regular or twisted)

And lastly, leave a couple of days in linseed oil to seal and enhance the grain of the wood

I just hope that the translator does not distort much the meaning of the text

Martin creo que me sentiré muy triste el día que no te lea en alguno de mis post, hasta ahora sigo muy alegre de verte siempre. un abrazo!


Martin I think I feel very sad the day that you do not read any of my post, so far I'm still very glad to see you forever. a hug!

Chepo ... Cuando veo su trabajo, me siento verdaderamente asombrado. Haces naturales una obra de arte!! No he trabajado con mucha naturales porque soy demasiado impaciente supongo.Muchas gracias por lo que se puede hacer con ellos.

Chepo...When I see your work I am truly amazed.
You make naturals a work of art!!!!
I have not worked with naturals much because I'm too impatient I guess. Thank you for showing what can be done with them.

Thanks Julius, I have not counted the time, is so entertaining and fun that I realized, besides that I do at times, maybe in a couple of weeks for those little while for the work, and also depends on how much has to grinding and shaping the fork. and liabilities of drying times and sealed in linseed oil are also variable, in oil left 48 hours or more

Chepo, este es un muy hermosa natural. Tu debes ser muy orgulloso.

Casi me olvido. Yo vivo mas o menos 50 km de la ciudad de Chepo que es este de la Ciudad de Panama.

Chepo, that is a very handsome natural. You should be very proud of it.

Almost forgot, I live about 50 km from the town of Chepo, east of Panama City.
