jrpeteo Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Thanks Dan! For the portrait patterns of the Cartwright gang I used to put this project together. 24x12 BB ply double stacked using combination of spiral and flat blades. “Ponderosa†cutout is stained with golden oak. Backer is painted flat black. Frame is rough cut cedar, half lap joint with twine wrap. Thanks again Dan and all the other designers who let us enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Wilson's Woodworking Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Great Job!!!!! I still watch the reruns of bonanza! They just don't make quality television shows any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Pete This is the cats meow!I'm telling you this deserves a place in the museum of bonanza artifacts.Very very professionally done without a doubt.So clean clean and crisp.The only thing missing to make it authentic is for the map to burn like it did on TV.This one should hold you for quite awhile with ATTABOY!

Kevin, I did play around with the torch on some practice pieces, trying to burn the "Ponderosa" map edge. Couldn't get a result I liked. I don't have a wood-burning kit.

jrpeteo Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks for the kind comments guys & gal. I probably worked on this thing for 20 hours over a couple weeks, from pattern inception to framing. Thanks again Dan for the portrait patterns I used in this piece!
