rjR Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Just a little cloud drift! Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Would stain cover that? I know paint would but not sure about stain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryEA Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) Cut another, over sand all of the moon (I kinda like that idea) or leave it as it. You can not 'FIX' it. Stain, 'no' because it will still be two toned. Paint... yea, but it will look odd if you don't paint the rest.

DWSUDEKUM Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Those all look great. Most wood we use is not mono color but has areas that are different shades. If you do not tell someone that you "over sanded" an area who's to know but you? Personally I like it that way as rjR said it looks like cloud drift. Thanks for sharing these with us. We do not make mistakes... only unplanned modifications. DW WayneMahler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 It wouldn't take much time, I'd cut another one. Nice cutting on all of them. Lucky2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birchbark Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 How bad's the back blown out, just flip it over. No worries. Or cut another moon and put her on it. Cut it out of another type of wood. She won't be part of the moon she'll be sitting on it. Russell LarryEA, laust18, Fish and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I'd leave as is Loren. You're just being creative by adding a cloud. Looks natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 One thing that has not been discussed here is learning how to prevent this in the first place. The trick is to sand the blank to finish grit before you apply the pattern and cut out the piece. After the piece is cut and the pattern removed, lighly touch up by hand wit the same grit you finish sanded with. Your pieces are beautifully cut. You should be proud! amazingkevin and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Laust, I think that you will either have to paint it, or cut another one. I don't think stain will look right,because you will still see the error. Whereas paint will cover it, so that it will not be seen. Personally, I would just cut another one, and mark this one as a learning experience. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC Scroller Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Painting is your only option at this point. I am curious why you sanded the top side. Plywood is normally smooth enough to start with. If I planned to sand the top I would do so with 320 or 400 grit very lightly before I applied the pattern and cut it. Any tear out or burr from cutting should have been on the under side unless the blade was up side down in the saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjones Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Stain it and see what happens, if you do not like the outcome you can always sand it again and paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sanded it because I'm new to scrolling and Im quickly learning what not to do....lol, I recently learned to sand the wood before i even put the pattern on, this I found works very well. fastfreddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the corner Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 When I get something like that it's not lost go to the paint store and buy a can of sparkly glittery spray paint and do the front and youl be surprized how many will want it. If you don't believe me try it youl want to keep it yourself Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
