Scrolling Steve Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 That's some very nice cutting,Larry!........The last cut is the one we are always looking for isn't it! LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 That is surely a beauty! I love the pattern and looks like it has been cut by an expert. What is the size of your picture? I differ, I love scrolling and do not look forward to the last cut. Then I have to start worrying the finishing. Hoping I don't break something cleaning up and all.

Yes, you are right, cutting does not end all the delicate work. I always look underneith for pieces that fell out when I sand. And finishing can ruin a piece of work. Nice work Larry! I love the look of maple. How thick is it? I just edited dimensions,,,,, 15 x 11 x 3/4 thick Edited January 7, 2015 by LarryEA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson's Woodworking Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 I could only Like this once but would have used up all my likes on this one project if possible! This turned out fantastic!!!! The only thing I couldn't find is the cribbage hole pattern around it. :rofl: I agree with Kevin. A picture frame type of frame for this one would really set it off. Great job buddy! :thumbs: :thumbs: LarryEA and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubgoofy2003 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Larry, you did a fantastic job on that piece. I really like Kerry's patterns. They are realistic & very precise. Many holes to cut, but, worth every minute of time. I can't imagine how slow it must have been, cutting it & how many blades did you have to use? Well worth it though. Thanks for letting us enjoy it. Take Care LarryEA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
