Falcon Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 That is a great pattern and great cutting. I think a lighter background might bring it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Nicely done and like the others I think a lighter background would set it off really well. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vykus Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I hate to disagree with ya'll but my impression of the piece is that it is one piece, no backer piece. I like it the way it is, gives a gothic feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhudson Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 I like the dark oak. Feels old worldish, it's been hanging in the dinning room for two generations. Great choice of stock and color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordster Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Very impressive, I believe the picture does not show its real beauty...I like it as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Great cutting. Looks super, would love to see some contrast between the backer and the cut part but it is still one good looking work. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kardar2 Posted November 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Well to tell the truth I actually don't like this cross so dark it is 1 inch thick and cast a lot of Shadows I hung this up on the wall the dark hides a lot of of the detail. I going to take a picture with other one not stained. Thank you all for the nice comments Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman Posted November 3, 2015 Report Share Posted November 3, 2015 Maybe cherry would work better? p.s. we went through Gilroy once. Love garlic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkey Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 (edited) August Cross. Very nice job cutting. I made some out of purple heart and some out of cedar. I liked the cedar crosses the best. Edit: my wood was 3/8 inch thick. Edited November 4, 2015 by Sparkey amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Beautiful looking cross, unfortunately a lot of the design is lost in the dark wood, what a shame. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penquin Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Believe Kevin got the best answer. The darkness of it gives it a sort of old world look, like it was make a long time ago and has aged somewhere and developed this wonderful dark color. Like it again. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 i guess you got the message about using contrasting colors for piece and background.. it is a very nice pattern and you executed it well. I would have used a thinner wood and a contrasting background but I am not sure I could have cut it as well as you did ..
