No I did not, its just a vector, google vector and peruse the various websites there are loads and loads of these type things.

thanks, it is one cool piece for sure, its about 14x11

its not an easy cut for sure, obviously depending on what wood you use and how thick it is. The one I posted was 3/4 red oak and the grain really made the piece what it is. I have people come to my place and spend a significant amount of time with it. While not seeming to be tough it is harder than it looks especially when you get to the really intricate few that are really really small parts as they get to the twister, also the two corner pieces top right and bottom left should NOT be saved till last. You should cut those prior to cutting everything on either side. I almost lost one but saved it. I ended up using tape to keep a lot of them together while cutting the rest of the piece as they seemed like they could break anytime. I would think that if the material you use is too thin it may not be strong enough

I cut this and many more like it in the past, fun and very challenging. This one was cut from oak flooring

thank you sir

ha ha, maybe. I posted about a dozen or so about a year ago and I think a few said that they may give it a go, not sure if they did. in any case, they are really fun to make, I have a black, brown and white leather belt that I put them on and I get all sorts of cool comments from people about them.

well cut kevin, thought of cutting that pattern many a time...

spot hot glue them into place and when ready you glue all the edges of the pieces that are sticking out? I presume you to that from the back side correct? what kind of high gloss clear spray?

love that, especially the silver tooth! spectacular work man, your pieces are always a pleasure to see!

so you glue the cover to the plywood. you then gut out whatever image you want to make 3D but this is where I have a Q? What if the object you want to cut out is not an edge cut, meaning you need to drill a pilot hole. How are dealing with the pilot hole in either the 3D piece that you cut or in the background part of the cover which is not 3D in the end. The other q I have is around how you are proping the 3D image up at a difference height so to speak if both are laying flat on a surface? Are you putting spacers in behind the 3D piece to prop it out as high/far as you want it to be? I would imagine that you have to mount both the 3d piece, its spacers and the background which is the rest of the comic book cover on a thin backer of sorts? Lastly what to you finish the cover with once it is completely done, given the amount of work involved I would like to know how the longevity of the piece will be, meaning do you put anything on it to preserve and extend the life of the piece. Modge Podge for example thanks for the clarification, I find this interesting and really appealing and I know a friend that would absolutely go over the moon to get one as a gift and I think I may give it a go. I think your work is awesome! and I am sure that those will sell for you.

awesome !

no problem mate, my mantra is to use 97% repurposed wood and its fun although I have too much wood, must clean out the shop! It is also getting more difficult to find pieces that are in fact real wood.

Thanks, deciding if I should frame it or not
