Popular Post WolfmoonCT Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) So I got an airbrush, so I can do the fades for this. Still learning a good mix for craft paint to not run.. but I think it came out pretty good. So it's about 10x12 from 3/16" maple. Cut with Olson #2/0R blades and a modified Shelia Landry Design. Her original design does not come with the paw prints. Edited December 19, 2021 by WolfmoonCT goldfish, danny, Fish and 19 others 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 That looks great Kris! Did you plan the layers or were they random? I’m sorry for your loss. My little buddy has been gone for about five years now, and I still miss him every day. WolfmoonCT and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little buddy has been gone for about five years now, and I still miss him every day. I didn't lose anyone yet. My dogs are still younger. I Just saw it, and figured I know enough people hat have lost one, that someone may want one. I already have to cut 2 more of them.. I have a list of stuff to cut already to keep me busy through Feb at least is my guess. FrankEV and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaughn Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 (edited) Beautiful job. I have made a number of Sheila Landry plaques and have one in process as we speak. Her website is a great resource. For what it is worth - I make it a habit to pick areas on the back of the plaque and matching areas on the backer board for gluing that will not show through the cuts. (Along the sides and between lines of text) I apply masking tape to these "glue islands" to keep them clear of paint and finishing material. The final step for me is to mate the backerboard to the plaque by applying glue to these areas. This method provides the best chance that the coatings will not weaken the glue joints. Since plywood is more stable than the hardwood used for the plaque it gives some assurance the glue joints will not fail as humidity acts on the piece over the years. I also put 2 brass screws in that act as a mechanical backup. Again, first rate job!!!
