RangerJay Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 I have wanted to cut this Charles Dearing Lynx ever since I first saw it - that was at least a couple of years ago - maybe a little longer - and I finally got round to doing it. I can see myself cutting a lot more of his patterns in the future - but holy smoke they sure take time ..... The cutting is walnut and the frame is pine. Any comments or suggestions will be very welcome. Thanks, Jay lawson56, Lucky2, Fish and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul hd Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Hi Jay. That is amazing. It actually looks like fur. Great frame too and I like the subtle piping chord around the edge. A wonderful piece of scroll workðŸ‘👠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 Fantastic Lynx cuttting. Just a super job on a tough pattern. I'm also impressed with your frame. Will you tell me how you made it? It that a cord inside the frame? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrolling Steve Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Excellent work on a very taxing Pattern.....You did Mr. Dearing Proud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerJay Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Thanks - I really appreciate the kind words. To answer a couple of questions: - the frame is a "Greene and Greene Frame" - if you Google those words you will find many variations on this frame - most call for a mortise and tenon joint but I used dowels. - the cording is braided cord purchased from Amazon and I think readily available through most hobby/craft stores - very inexpensive - attached with a bead of CA glue along the entire joint - really easy to do - a lot easier than I originally thought. Thanks again, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerJay Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Thanks again folks. No - I don't keep track of the hours - I really like these kinds of detailed projects and have started to refer to them as "Time Pieces" - meaning that I poke away at them, a little bit at a time, usually an hour or two, maybe once or twice a week, over a long period of time - and between other jobs - think I started this one in April or so ...... The number of cuts?? - something else I don't keep track of ...... I think quite a bunch .....
