breadstick Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Finished this for a friend a few days ago. Made the frame to go with it. 1/4" birch ply with luan backer. Cut with #3 Olson spirals. Not happy with the luan backer. Stained with ebony and it just made it darker, not black.

Dave Monk Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 That is a super pattern and cutting. Woods look good together. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Great looking cut, pattern looks like a Charlies Dearing pattern if I am wrong and it is your own design that is great. Frame and background are outstanding. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranMike Harley Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Awesome job, Nathan. Looks like you got those spirals figured out ! Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Very good cutting I agree with you on the backer board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadstick Posted March 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thank you everyone. I should have said in the beginning but yes, it is a Charles Dearing pattern. His stupid sale right now is draining my pockets. Sometime soon I'll be making the R2D2 pattern I bought from him and, if he's still selling it, buy the C3PO pattern, too. I really don't like Star Wars, but my wife is a lifelong fan. Also, I should have put a second coat of ebony stain on the backer. I like it the way it is, but I think it'd look better darker. On more intricate pieces with larger cutouts like this, I like doing an ebony stain on birch plywood backer. It looks a little more put together than foam board or felt, even though I still like using both. DeenaKay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 That looks amazing. You did a fantastic job cutting it. Now I am off to Charlie's site to see about the R2D2 and CP3O patterns, Bye Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know what to do with my tax refund if I get one. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
