Tyrannosaurus Rex Portrait With Rustic Frame

Russ Beard design

I stack cut 2 from 1/4 inch material on my @rikon_powertools scroll saw and the backer boards are also 1/4 inch material

Cut with number 5 ultra reverse tooth blades

The half lap frame was cut out on my Rikon Table Saw using my @microjig Half Lap Jig for the first time

The rabbets for the frame were cut on my @craftsman router table and after a dry fit, everything was sanded to a smooth finish with @klingsporswoodworkingshop sandpaper

Stained with @minwaxusa wood stain after assembling with CA Glue and activator, I gave the portrait several coats of @rustoleum clear gloss for a finish

After it dried, I used some hemp cord to wrap around the extended corners to give it a rustic flair

This was a Christmas Present for my Brother and he loved it!
