My dad turned his old piano into a computer desk. I wish he saved the keys but he is not much of a saver and I am guessing they hit the burning barrel! :( I wish I would have been there to head him off at the pass..the desk is cool though! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=326#post-24911 Wed, 24 Aug 2011 08:13:10 +0000 daisytoad 24911@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Bumping this up, just disassembled a piano yesterday, loads of parts! </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=326#post-22992 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:51:18 +0000 copperhead 22992@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>google search scrimshaw powder horns then go into the images (left hand side of the screen) you will see some beautiful work. You might look under videos as well. I have met some folk who do wonderful scrimshaw work. You can get tools, books, etc on line. When we go to Florida that kind of stuff is mostly gone before the tourists show up - well, the good stuff is gone... One year I traded a pair of breeches for a powder horn. I SERIOUSLY got the good end of the deal. DH got a very nice present he treasures and the man from Minnesota is no longer making them. Wear a dust mask. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=326#post-22991 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 16:34:57 +0000 jillruth 22991@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Thanks for the info. copper. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=326#post-22989 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 14:38:56 +0000 copperhead 22989@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>yeah scrimshaw is where you etch/scratch the ivory, bone or horn then you smear paint into the groove and wipe off excess paint. It's done on powder horns. It can be very beautiful. Lots of free pianos out there on CL - you just have to be able to haul and store... </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=326#post-22985 Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:36:37 +0000 jillruth 22985@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I found more keys! <a href="http://www.jillruth.com/2011/04/mosaic-monday_11.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.jillruth.com/2011/04/mosaic-monday_11.html</a></p> <p>We need to brainstorm more ladies! I know you can sell them for scrimshaw art...not really sure what it is, carving or painting on ivory I believe. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=326#post-19775 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 06:16:34 +0000 LuAnn 19775@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>What a great piece!!

It has sentimental value to me. I wanted to do something with it for my daughters, as it was what they learned on years ago. So far, we have cut the keys to size and the plan is to glue them to the top of a lid of a small wood box and then either paint the box or decoupage sheet music to the rest of the box. I would love to hear other ideas as well-- you all have great ideas. </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=326#post-4306 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:06:16 +0000 junkermidge 4306@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>Margo --<br /> I really like your new half sunburst version! Very cool!</p> <p>Jillruth --<br /> I love your pupet theater. I'm currently in the process of redoing a piano and considered your idea (I'd seen it in another post). Since my kids are older I'm storing the idea away for later. I've decided to go for a desk, I'll post when done.<br /> Midge </p> http://junkrevolution.com/community/topic.php?id=326#post-4292 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 14:11:52 +0000 jillruth 4292@http://junkrevolution.com/community/ <p>I have piano keys in my barn just waiting....neat idea! I turned my piano into a puppet theater.

So I decided to chop it in half and came up with this for above my window at work.<br /> I also had an idea of mounting them to a piece of trim board and letting them hang down as a valance or window topper. Kinda like what Kid did in her first book in the cottage room with the chippy trim pieces. Wish I had a pic of that.</p> <p> </p>
