Hi Dan, Welcome! I am Mahendra from India with all the right machinery in your shop what can stop you from making anything:-)
come in and join the fun.
Kevin,that is beautiful work:-) a dark backer should do, just my opinion our other friends on the forum can advice you more:-) but overall good job,Kevin and we all missed you as well.
Thank you.
Katie, the picture is very small like Don mentioned, I could not come up with anything . When I read the post first I thought that you wanted help in cutting a portrait,sorry! misunderstood the post.
Don,just curious ,the word in between those two guys is it Japanese for Samurai? it adds more to the overall cutting,staining and framing:-)
Thank you all for your kind words.
