I agree with you 100% Frank. It was after I glued the front to the backer that I realized the backer should have been larger. Live and learn I guess!

Great sell, Barb. Congrats. They turned out nice. Always a plus when the wood is gifted!

This pattern is one FrankEV posted a month or so ago. I love this song and knew I wanted to cut it when I seen the piece Frank had shared. I used 1/4 inch oak ply for the front and a 1/4 inch underlayment material for the backer. (Less expensive and usable since it is painted and a limited amount shows.) As with most of my projects the piece is stained with Minwax Natural and has 5 coats clear gloss with light sanding between coats. In the enlarged picture it appears to have grit (or specks) in the finish but it is actually a reflection from direct sunlight. The piece is actually very smooth and clean. The backer is painted gloss black. The frame is pine stained with Minwax Red Oak. Franks was much better because of the colors he added but I'm still pleased with how this project turned out. I recently purchased some water color pencils and plan to give them a try after doing a little testing first. I started a Jim Blume "American" piece so it will probably be a while for my next "Brag."

Apparently, the Force was with you when cutting that! Excellent job, Don.

Great idea, Denny! They turned out very nice.

A place near me sells plain bird houses with a few flowers painted onto them for $60 to $75. I can't imagine what you could get for a gnome bird house. Great job on the cut and the finish. I agree that I like the one where you painted over the eyes a lot more.

Hey! I know that guy! Just kidding. You did a great job.

Cute projects, Edward. You did a great job!

Nice cut. I was a little confused at the backwards writing until I scrolled a little more and realized it was writing on the outside of glass.

Credits go to Steve Good for this pattern

What a great piece. Fantastic job. -
Super cute! I'm sure she will love it!
-
Great job!

This was one I did a while back for my wife's dog training club fund raiser. I thought it was somewhat neat because it had multiple dog breeds. The person/pet statues were some of the very first scroll cuts I ever did.

A busy week for some great projects. Love the wolf piece!

Excellent Craig. Coloring is nice but I'm really impressed with the grain in your maple.
-
Great job Dick! And it's always a plus if the client is happy.

I think something similar happens to all of us. I have spent several hours cutting a double stack piece today when I decided to sand some of the burrs of the back. When I flipped it over I realized some of the fragile lettering had torn out. If it had been one or two pieces I would have tried to find the pieces and repair them but there were probably half a dozen and I had already vacuumed earlier. Regardless, Eric. You cutting is great. You've come a long way in a short time!

Beautiful work, Marg. The ornaments are really crisp, and the gnomes seem to be a hit now days. Hope the driveway market is a success!
-
Cute project, Chuck. I bet they would sell easily!
-
Not sure about cutting it but I have a Fender Strat made from Alder that is very heavy! Sounds great so I don't think I'll cut it up into scrolling projects.
-
Keep the chin up Brenda. Looking forward to seeing your finished project.
-
Great job, Charlie. The rustic wood of the cutting really matches the dirty character of the actor.
-
That's a large array of techniques. Great job!
-
Beautiful piece, Denny. We're going to have to start calling you the Bowl Master!
-
Glad you had a successful day.
