Whitley Woodworking Farm Scene for Bookstand

[cowboyup3371]

I'm not sure if whoever is responsible for the Whitley Woodworking patterns is still an active member but if so, you are a fantastic designer.  I do not have any of the experience that most of you do but I do like to challenge myself and this pattern was tough to cut.  I hope I don't make you roll your eyes too much but first, here's the pattern for those who aren't familiar with it:

And now my interpretation cut into a 1/2" thick piece of Cherry.  I say it this way as a couple of pieces broke my best attempts to not cut things too thin.

I also couldn't get all of the really small cuts but that could also be the fact I'm using a #5 double skip reverse blade.

This will become the main portion of a cookbook stand my eldest daughter asked me for as a Christmas gift.  I should have it finished in the next few weeks.

Has anyone cut this pattern so I can see how it should look next time?

Thank you all.  I finished the stand yesterday and was about to post pictures today when I noticed a problem on one side.  So, back to the workshop I went to lay down additional coats and hope to be able to retake the pictures late tomorrow or Monday.  I'll post them by Christmas
