Frank, been thinking about you said about the coloured backer on the Bob Marley, my plan is to make the band of colour behind his head black just to make the wood stand out more, is this what you were meaning if not whats your idea am open to suggestions on how to do the backer Gordon

Life going a bit cr*p just now so not had chance to make much saw dust, but finally found some time so got 3 pictures cut, jimmy Hendrix,Janis Jopplin and Bob Marley they are all cut on 12mm ply and are A3 in size 11 x 16 inch sprayed with a clear lacquer, am not over happy with the Janis Jopplin but its what was asked for, still to put a black backer on the Bob Marley as his face is floating and will be glue to the backer but i am kind of undecided as to try a Jamaican back ground with thick stripes of colour

nice also my fav film of all time i use quotes from it all the time lol nice pattern for your first time design you did well keep it up, and good job on the cutting mate

That's impressive really nice cut, getting some time to do any cutting at xmas is a god send, all of Scotland just went into full lock down again so am gonna get some proper saw time i hope, glad you had a good day

I love it am always looking for something different for my man cave wall they are both good and well cut but the first one is the dogs bollocks for me I love it well done with them Gordon

I take my hat of to you for caring and cutting, I know how hard it is to fit both in you did a neat job, good on you Gordon

Very impressive they look great together it would look fantastic as one big welcome home maybe a bit too big though

Try thin slices of crayons or grate the crayons it melts and blends much easier and the results are amazing Ike

The scrap ply was a deep red colour so I sanded of the top coat I couldn't wait to try melting the sliced crayons so some of the red was still on the surface area but it was just a test so I wasn't too bothered

This is my first time using resin on a picture, I cut the tiger from scrap plywood added a plain backer, then sliced coloured crayons and melted them with the heat gun, finally covered it all with clear resin, the pics don't do it justice the colours stand out so much better in real life Cheers Gordon

Nice job great cutting and everyone is right get a good pattern matched to the right piece of wood and it looks so much better you did a great job Gordon

Fantastic cutting you did a great job can I ask what fonts you used it just oozes style and class cheers Gordon

Nice job it looks stunning am just about to try making my first box, I might steel some of your ideas I love it when ppl go into detail about how they did something I learn so much I also wish ppl would put down what font they use on an item the more info we get the more so we learn, so thanks Frank good read and a great box mate

Can't open it either, but big kudos to your good lady Anne Marie, Rick next year if you had a PO box address I would gladly cut and send something as am sure alot of ppl would from all over the world, some from Scotland, England, Australia etc its just a thought mate Cheers Gordon
