Migrant Mother

[breadstick]

Pattern is from Chef on here.  Measures 11" x 14" from 1/8" BB plywood.  Stack cut four of them, but one is for my Mother.  Stained two natural but I'll be doing the other two in a weathered gray stain.

Have to agree with Kevin here. Very tricky to do, the kind of pattern that I like!   Well done on this.

That's one of my favorite pictures.  From the Dust Bowl Days.  The Okies moving to California.  Great image and well cut, thanks for showing that to us.

Nathan, you did an amazing job cutting this one out, there looks to be more than a few hold your breath moments. Chef was a great pattern designer, to bad he passed away.

There are certainly some heart stopping cuts there......You did an excellent job of a very hard pattern.  Well done to both you and Chef.

What a great interpretation of that picture and your work in cutting it is nothing short of outstanding.  I keep looking and trying to figure out how it stays together.  Thank you for sharing.

Thanks everyone.  Gave it to my Mother over the weekend.  Definitely a few very slow moments cutting this one.

Great job cutting a very difficult pattern Nathan. I love super-detailed highly challenging patterns, but I'm not sure I could have cut this without a defibrillator on standby during some of those cuts. A beautiful piece.
