Denny Knappen Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 The pttern is by Judy Peterson and found in SWWC Holiday Ornaments, Toys and Gifts Vol 2. It is made from Poplar approximately 7" high. I used FD Polar #5 blades and Shellac finish. Comments welcome.

Would you please tell us about finishing puzzles with shellac? Do you have any issues fitting the pieces due to the shellac? Thank you for sharing Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually dilute the Shellac with 50% alcohol making a sanding sealer. This dries quickly and very little surface finish. With this finish there is no issues fitting.

Rockytime Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I like the cutting. It is simple and so am I. I do like cutting puzzles as they do not take too long and the gratification comes quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orangeman Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I tried that pattern a couple years ago because I thought it was a winner . Thought it would sell but it was a bust! Wound up giving them away to a local charity. Hope you do better. bb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Looks great Denny! That pattern is actually a good seller for me. I have five for my two day sale this weekend and expect to sell them all @ $24. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 That looks great Denny. I wish I could get some poplar here in Oz. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaughn Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Beautiful job, Denny. I look at the grain of the poplar and I might have been tempted to run it vertically to simulate folds in the angel's gown.... Either way I like the outcome - alot!

I've been looking for that but haven't found it - "yet" Is it a special addition of the magazine or a book they published? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
