This is a Steve Good pattern. I stacked cut four using 1/4" Luan.

I used more than one type blade but primarly a .026 x 0.11 #2?.

The scroll is 8" x 6" and the backer is a light Walnut 10" x 8"

 Comments appreciated!

Just getting in tough with your feminine side??  ;)   Well you did a great job.

LOL ...  It just fit in with the type of fretwork scrolling I started lately. A few birds I'll show sometime.

             It's nice to stack and have the bottom as good as the top....

             There's another I'm starting where the lady has an escort...

I see the challenge... :D  ...  and want to see the the fretwork completed.

 

and it will sell x4

Beautiful! I have heard you guys talk about that type of finish several time but I have never asked...... Why do you use BLO before spraying with lacquer? thanks, dave

Dave, I like your question. 

BLO is a finish, you brush or pour it on. BLO gets into the crevises giving a more / better finish look.

The spray lacquer puts a nice looking finish on but the spray does not get into the crevises very well.

Without the BLO, some of the fretwork would look un-finished.
