Da bear

[Wichman]

Just finishing this one up. Pattern from an old magazine. 1/2 plywood plaque (9 layers), I cut two stacked, FD Polar #1, Ebony for the dark stripes, dark walnut for the body, natural for the face and background. 

I saved all the dropouts (taped them back in place while I cut the rest of the pattern) stained them separately and then glued them back in place, the dark stripes were glued just pround of the surface (toothpicks for spacers 5/64" )

Lot of work went into that. Great job.

Loved the textured look...and cutting ebony...wow, that is like cutting stone.  How thick was it?

[Wichman]

MarieC, I cut the whole thing from a single 1/2" thick plywood plaque. I stained the various pieces "ebony", "dark walnut" and "natural" using Minwax stains.

Excellent work Wichita. I can see you have put a few hours in completing that fine piece of work.

A fabulous piece.  Well done.
