I've completed the finish on this project today. It is a Jim Blume pattern cut using Pegas 2/0 and #1 spiral blades, 1/4 maple ply stained natural with a 1/4 pine ply backer cut 2 inches larger than the front and painted black. The entire project was sprayed with 4 coats of gloss poly with a light sanding between each coat. The frame is actually framing material I had on hand which I think turned out pretty nice with this piece. Thank, Jim, for the pattern. I hope I did it justice.
