Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted April 13 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 13 This is Jim Blume's "Heading West" pattern that was designed to be 11X14. I decided to make it a little more challenging by cutting it into an 8X10. Baltic Birch stained Ipswich with a black backer and a Pine frame. Both cutting and frame were sprayed with several coats of Polyacrylic with light sanding between coats. This was a lot of fun to cut and surprisingly the reduced size didn't make it very difficult. Thanks, Jim, for another great pattern. JackJones, Charlie E, jr42 and 23 others 20 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preprius Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Yep, the family is taking on a great adventure. Extra challenging to head west. Oh your saying the cutting is extra challenging. Yes but it looks great. I had to look closely, i think the child is a girl peeking out of the covered wagon. danny and Dak0ta52 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 My, that is mighty fine. I thought you might go larger with the new saw. Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I was limited on my wood stock but I wanted to see if I could complete the cut with smaller bridges. I selected this pattern because it didn't have any large areas with thin bridges. The previous piece I did of Jim's where the cowboy is sitting with a dog along side would have never worked. That one was very delicate even though I cut it 11X14. I have a "Last Supper" pattern I hope to cut when I have the wood that will be around 8X48. I'll surely need the extra depth as well as a couple side tables for that one.
