Popular Post cyclistjim Posted September 4, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I haven't been out in the shop much lately as I was having to do a bunch of house fixer ups after getting my house redone with vinyl siding. Suddenly everything around your house looks old and needs to be updated. But I needed to do something for the NC State Fair this October so I cut this out. I still need to make the frame but the cuts are done on this Charles Dearing pattern. The color in the back is not what it will be. Still deciding if I'll use black as usual or something else. This was cut from a 1/4" thick piece of cherry. It is 15 1/2" x 13 1/4" I will be building the frame from some yellowheart I have. Pattern is available here: https://www.bearwood.com/Stunning-Lion-Portrait.html jollyred, meflick, nebur9362 and 12 others 13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Oh WOW that is amazing. You did an extremely good job of the cutting. I would stick with the black background. Good luck at the State Fair. Marg heppnerguy and cyclistjim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 You certainly did an outstanding job cutting that one. It is a very "hairy" cut. I did it several years ago. I was actually surprised it held together. heppnerguy and cyclistjim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Everyone loves the beautiful execution of a rather exciting pattern you just displayed for us all to enjoy. I would vote for the usual black background, as it has not only the best contrast but definitely makes every hole stand out to the max. It is truly a great piece. A frame is definitely going to make this piece a ribbon winner. Good Luck Dick heppnerguy cyclistjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclistjim Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Thanks for all he great compliments! I promise to post again once the frame is completed. Probably two to three weeks before the frame is done and completely assembled. Plenty of time I have a 2 week cushion. bobscroll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneG Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 spectacular cutting jim, I would also suggest staying with black, other colors would not be seen through some of the tiny holes. stunning project for sure! cyclistjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great thought about colors not showing well. I did use color once before and earlier today I was looking at it and that is what is off about that one. The color in the shadow is just very weak if it can be seen at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I run into that problem all the time and that is why black is common cyclistjim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
