    I use a regular blade to cut the rabbit. One cut on edge and the other on the back side.

    I do rabbit the back of the frame.

    You sure are keeping busy Gary. If I frame a project I always make my frame. I have never used glass. I have the same miter saw as you but I think I get a better job using a sled on my table saw which I made. I also make a lot out of poplar and lacquer them black.

    I didn't know you were a painter also. Came out great!

    I own the same miter saw and have it mounted on a cabinet with doors and drawers. I use Amana saw blades on my table saw and miter saw. They are expensive but to me they are worth it. https://www.toolstoday.com/v-10204-610800-ts.html

    You are a master at auto scrolling.

    I pretty well spray lacquer on everything.

    If you want to do an easy hinge, I use the LT277. It may not work on your type of box. https://craft-inc.com/collections/hinges?page=4

    Gary super job!

    Oh my gosh Don. You are defiantly the font expert.

    This is a Steve Good pattern that I modified. I used the drops from the inlaid box to make a second box that is fret work.
  14. Dave Monk
    Great idea Alex!

    Came out nice. I like the burned edge. Might look good with a dark brown stained backer.

    That came out great Gary. I hope you stack cut it. I never cut just one. I throw the extra in a box.
  17. Dave Monk
    That came out great!

    Very cool design Kevin.

    That is a beauty Ron! Love it.

    Yes. It is a super thin nail with no head. Any nail that is the right length will work. I usually put a nail from each side.

    I stack cut 5 1/8" baltic birch. I make the pieces about 1" bigger than needed and use a 28 gauge pinner in the corners. I cut them to size at the end.
  23. Dave Monk
    Both look great. Love the burl.
  24. Dave Monk
    Great looking pattern and cutting.

    Nice job on your cutting and framing. When I need a frame I make my own. I use 3/4" x 2". If I paint it I use poplar. I usually rabbit the back about 3/8" x 3/8". I have never used matting or glass. Everyone has to develop their own style and way of doing things. When I first started doing portrait for people I would ask if they wanted it framed for and extra $25. They always chose for me to leave my 1/2" backer painted black sticking out 1/2" all the way around.
