Thanks Kirk. I too like the rustic look of the frame. I also thought it would go well with the "Americana" theme Jim portrays in that series of patterns.

Wow! Someone has been busy. Nice projects!
-
Love it! Great job, Frank.

This is Jim Blume's "Americana 3" pattern. It is 1/4 inch Maple ply with 1/4 inch pine backing. It was cut using Pegas 2/0 spiral blades. The front is stained with Minwax Natural and then coated with several layers of clear gloss spray with light sanding between each coat. The backer was simply painted a flat black. The frame is a pine 1 X board cut down and stained with Minwax Red Oak. I've had this finished for a couple weeks but finally finished the frame today. I plan to cut several more from Jim's Americana series and make a set. This was a lot of fun and I'm look forward to start on the others.

Great project, Roly. The painting of your pieces are great. Almost looks like they are plastic they are so smooth.

Nice, Eric. You can also cut out tear drops and sand them down to make ears for the dog. I've sanded them on a slight angle so they stand out from the head.
-
Beautiful! Both the projects and the patterns. You know I'll want to jump on them but I have several other patterns of yours that will be ahead of them.

Wow, Brent. I'm sure that took some time. You did an excellent job. I love Jim's patterns. They are beautiful but challenging.

Wow! That looks like some very delicate fretwork. Great job!

From what I understand box store "Birch" isn't actually Baltic Birch. I've used box store Birch but usually I lose pieces on the bottom and not the top. I use Duck shelf liner and haven't had any problems with it pulling chips of the top. I have also used spray adhesive on the pattern and applied it directly to the wood. A little heat from a heat gun or hair dryer will loosen the adhesive and it will almost peel itself off. You may need to use a little mineral spirits to remove any residual adhesive from the project. I haven't tried but I also understand you can apply mineral spirits directly to the pattern when you're ready to remove it and it will soak through and loosen the adhesive where the pattern can easily be removed. Good luck.

Fantastic job, Bobby. I commend you painting.

Excellent work, Kirk. Thoughts and prayers for you. Hope tomorrow brings a better day.

Great job, Michael. I'm sure there will be some happy kids somewhere in your life. Or, you may be the happy "big" kid!

Very nice, Eric. I'm not big on plywood when the edges are displayed but they do make a veneer that you can apply. I do prefer cutting plywood. With solid wood, expecially pine, the blade has a tendency to follow the grain if you're not careful.
-
Beautiful work as usual, Frank. I'm sure the kitten required a lot of spinning on the table if you cut that with a straight blade.

Welcome to the Village, Myrtlewood. You didn't mention your experience level but there is a lot of knowledge here in the Village and the members are more than eager to pass that experience along. If you are experienced, please share that with us. Looking forward to seeing your work.

Wow! Makes me nervous just looking at it. Do you use a spiral or regular blade for veining?
-
Excellent work, John. Cutting fretwork as thick as those snowmen can be a pain but they sure are nice when they are finished.
-
Thanks Marg. This is one of my favorites.
-
Love it! Looks like you may have spent a couple hours cutting projects to go into your gift shop.
-
Excellent pattern and excellent cutting. Love the grain in your projects.
