This turned out to be a really fun project. The pattern is from Jim Blume and initially I was a little afraid of it because it looked to be bitmapped. (Sorry, Jim, for doubting your pattern! I should have known better.) Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised on how it turned out. I will add that the photos do not give them justice. These were stack cut using 1/4-inch Oak and Maple ply, both finished with natural stain. The backer is 1/4-inch Pine painted black. They have 6 coats of clear with light sanding with 600 grit between coats. The frames are both framing material stock cut to fit the 13 X 19 backer board. I did re-stain the frames using Weathered Oak on the Oak piece and Expresso on the Maple. A tip to anyone wishing to cut this pattern, there are several areas that will be very delicate. The piece would flex just from handling. Also, be very patient when sanding.

Nice one, Frank. Looks like you're cutting cartoons from my era. Beep,beep!

I agree with Dan. The cutting is great and the colors are vibrant! Great job! -
Great job, Pete.

Excellent work, Don. Looking forward to seeing your complete theme.

It doesn't seem a year away from the saw has had any negative effect on your abilities. Beautiful piece.

Hopefully my trash will become someone's treasure.

Great job, Dave! Really like your finish. -
I agree with the others. Round first. That way the glued piece doesn't get into the way when you do sand and also you don't risk breaking the glued piece.

I finished these up this evening. They are stack cut from a pattern by Granpa, one being Oak and the other Birch. Both are 1/4-inch ply stained with Minwax Natural. The backer board is 5/16 Pine simply painted black. The frame is Maple framing material with the Oak frame stained Colonial Pine and the Birch frame stained with Natural. Both were sprayed with 4 coats of clear gloss with light sanding between coats. This pattern was a lot of fun to cut. While it may look complicated, the frets are fairly large and, surprisingly, the project didn't take as long to cut as what I had thought. There are a couple places you have to be careful about cutting out a bridge but overall, it was pretty sturdy. Thanks, Grampa, for the great pattern.

Love the pattern. Great job on your cutting. The circle looks perfectly round which is a hard task in itself.

Neat project, Chris. The bass turned out awesome!

Two completed projects that could not be more different.

Both projects turned out great, Frank. The Pine frame on the Elvis piece is beautiful. I'll have to get me some Mahogany stain to see if I can get the same grain quality you got from yours. -
Beautiful projects. Love that curly maple.

Nice job, Barb. You've got four... only need four more to have "eight tiny reindeer."
-
Very cute. Great cutting and artistry! The eyes do make them pop!

Looks like you created just what the customer wanted. Nice job cutting and design.

Busy man, Frank. Very nice projects.

Great job on your sales, Scott. We're not but about an hour away from each other. Need to meet somewhere sometime.

Looks like great cutting to me, Colin. Glad you found time to get on the saw.

Beautiful job, Dave. How did you blend the paint on the chest. Did you use a spray gun or is that hand painted?
-
Great job, Tbow. I've seen "River" tables... That's the first "River" bowl I've seen. Neat idea.

Your talent in creating the patterns and then cutting them is outstanding. I've not been one to follow "Lord of the Rings" but I am familiar. I'm waiting for someone to start making patterns of "Yellowstone."
