This was fun to make, still need to put a clear finish. The pattern I think was for it to hang on the wall, but I want to put it on a shelf so I created a base to fit it. I use cedar. What do you all think?

Yes I made the picture also with help from my husband. I’m going to try and sell the pictures at a craft show in November. I put the cat and mouse on it because I couldn’t reach the top of the door frame.
Here is another picture I made. In private sales I have sold 5.
I’m cutting 1/2” and getting a lot of chattering like I have no control and I’m holding on really tight. My hand is hurting. I cutting Hickory and it says it is a soft wood. Maybe I’m just weak. Any ideas?
I found it on line and I thought I saved it to my computer and was not able to find it . I have made a copy. I could scan it and give it to you if you would like

Then I put a finish called Bobs Miracle. 1 part Gloss Spar Vanrnish, 1part Boiled Linseed Oil and 1 part Paint Thinner.
