Has anyone tried laying these in a checkerboard-type pattern? Grain running up, then across, then up, etc? How did it look?

I tested it out, it did not look good in my opinion. I don't mean to sound offensive, but it looked like something you would see in a trailer home. Even though I am not completely happy with the way it lines up when you keep the colors the same, I do get a lot of compliments on it. I had to realize that linoleum tiles were not going to look like wood floors no matter how much I wanted them to.

Yes. I had the same issue. I centered them when I placed them. They worked out great.

Hmmm I am trying to pic this in my head...I have never had a problem getting all pieces to meet where they should. have you tried it on another type of table? Does the piece that goes up and down and lock move properly?

Yes, I have this combination and the joints produced are stunning. I made about a dozen 9x5x4" boxes out of resawn scrap cherry 5/16" thick and gave them to relatives for gifts. Be sure to use a fresh backer board cut EVERY time you set up the Incra jig to get clean joints. Make the joints just ever so slightly proud and lightly sand the joints flat with a random orbit sander using a 180-240 grit sanding disc. When starting this project, dimension all the wood you will need including test pieces at once so that ONE setting will work for all the joints. With a little planning you can make six boxes as easily as one.

No problem with them curling up! I haven't had them quite so long but so far, so good. I always make sure I step completely on the mat- so not to "kick" the edges. I can't figure out WHY they are curling. I absolutely LOVE mine.

I don't know, unless one is end grain and one is edge grain................... I prefer the thicker boards, but won't buy Boos boards anymore due to their splitting.

The picture does not show any matching curtains. I haven't looked for any either. I bought solid curtains at a local store to match. other suggestion would be to buy inexpensive sheet set and sew them into curtains! Loved my quilt set though! Hope this helped.

No I didn't but I did find country plaid ones with the same colors in them and I have had several compliments. I took a couple of the valances and made them into matching tables matts for my side stands and dresser. Everyone seems to like the idea. Hope this helps.

I have 2 lined up also. Just make sure you don't hang too much weight from them, as 3 might encourage you to store more on top! And as the other comment indicated, hitting the center of the framing is critical. Have fun!

They are display 90% correctly. Some elements of the subjust in the background just not look right. But most of my friends cannot tell the different. I use them when I have extra guess show up. I would not use them as my primary pairs.

Yes!! I did it like this, I held my boards up where I wanted to put them with the bottom bracket held on the wall with my hand ). Slightly off center in the waist of the board worked best( I did this solo but if someone was there to help it would have been easier) I marked around the outside of the bracket with a pencil, you cant just mark the holes because the board covers them, I installed it to the wall, put the board up on the now mounted bracket and just experimented where along the top the best pivot point was and did the same thing again. Theyve been up there for months and ive taken them down and put them back a few times this season and they work great.I wish I could attach a picture of them lol Yes!!

The patterns are nice and are colorfast. The paper is thin so you would need to make sure you don't get air bubbles underneath. Otherwise the papers would be fine to use.

Interestingly, this pic made me go look even though I thought I knew the answer. And i did, my bedspread has the pattern only ONCE and it does go from left to right. With mine the pattern is right at the head of the bed but DOES NOT appear again. I like the one pictured here a whole lot better! If the pattern is random from one spread to the next, good luck, I feel cheated!

I bought them to help layout quilt blocks but I haven't had a chance to play with them yet. As far as I can tell all the blocks are identical: side 1= red/white, side 2= blue/yellow side 3= solid blue side 4= solid red side 5= solid white side 6= solid yellow

Hi Medi, I'm out of town right now so I can't go to my own bed and experiment with the sheet. All I can say is that it seemed pretty standard to me . . . do you regularly have trouble with standard fitted sheets? If so, you might have the same problem with these. Write back if you want me to experiment a bit when I'm home again (Sunday, Jan. 5) and get back to you with more info.

Yes, and I just did them in my new LG dryer on the correct setting, still wrinkled, but once you spread them out on the bed, they seem to relax (except for the top rim) Guess if we want the sheets our Mom's did for us, it is back to the ironing board as they are all cotton. I do however like the feel of them when in bed. (use little heat when drying)

I didn't use the glaze. I tried it and it didn't seem to change it much. However, a couple of people said they liked it. BTW, I used a foam brush and put on three coats, so there wasn't any grain showing.
