That is one well done work. Looks great. Hard to believe you used 3/0 blades. Those are awful small for 3/4 inch wood. How many did you go through? Thanks for showing it to us all.

That looks good, nicely done. Don't worry about the quality of wood you selected. If you want to dress it up maybe create some distressed edges on it and get out the blow torch and burn it around the edges a bit to give it that look.
I like it.

Well done, it looks super. Like the size and how it fills the frame up. Great work on creating the pattern and also the cutting. Really love the detail in it.

That is a great likeness of the Duke and your cut looks great. Can't go wrong with a pattern from Charles. Thanks for sharing it and good luck in your fair.

That is just super looking. What an effect that acrylic gives you. Outstanding. Love it. The 2/0 blades don't cause the acrylic to melt together after the cut. Would seem like that might happen, just wondering? Thanks for sharing is super work with us all.

That is super, gives me an idea for all those frames I see at yard sales and I don't want to full around with the small center opening. Well done also on the coloring, really helps set it off.

Got this finished and got it entered in the Orange Country fair in Southern Calif. this year. This is a cutting of a statute down in Camp Pendleton Calif at the Marine base there. You can look up the details on line but it is about 2 soldiers helping a wondered third one out of a house in the middle of house to house fighting in Fallouji. The stature was created after a photo of this was published.
Big thanks goes to Don at Old Crow Scroll works who created the pattern for me. What a great job he did. I asked for help after I read the story and felt that a wood cutting of this would be a real nice way to help remember this action by all 3 Marines.
Hope you all enjoy it, I am really pleased with it myself.

Kept trying to get the photo the right way but the computer would not cooperate. Sorry.
