Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted August 2, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 This is a Grampa pattern I finished this weekend. Double stack Oak and Maple 1/4 ply with 1/4 pine ply backer. The Maple piece was stained with Minwax Colonial Pine as well as the Maple frame. The Oak piece was stained with Minwax Natural and the Oak frame was stained with Minwax Red Oak. Both were sprayed with 5 coats of clear gloss and lightly sanded between coats. I used Pegas 2/0 and 0 spiral blades. Approximate size is 11X14. It was a fun project and thanks to Grampa for the pattern.

John B Posted August 2, 2022 Report Share Posted August 2, 2022 A nice cutting of a nice pattern Rodney. I was thinking how I liked the top one better, but after reading that you finished both with gloss, the shine must just be a result of the light. A big well done to the cutter and pattern maker.

Thanks John. I'm partial to the top (Maple) also. It does have more of a satin finish than the gloss on the bottom, even though it was sprayed with the same product. I've found that you can hold a little farther away when spraying and give a "mist" rather than a heavy soaking will leave a slightly satin finish. I liked the pattern from the Maple in the frame and didn't want the glare of light from a gloss finish to distract from the grain.

Well done. Thanks Paul. I started to do one with and the other without. When I did the first one (with the matting size backer) I liked it so well I went ahead and did the second the same way. The trick is gluing the cutting to the larger backing making sure it is square and centered. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted August 4, 2022 Report Share Posted August 4, 2022 Oh, now I am finally able to say that this is one I have cut a couple of times already. It is indeed a great pattern too. Good for you, taking the time to make those nice frames and for the excellent cutting and finish work, once more.
