Rob Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Deer and doe cut from reclaimed rimu and finished with BLO and beeswax. Pattern by Gayle from Scroller's Cafe. I can't decide if this would be better with a backer or not. What do you think? Rob leshko, Scrappile, lawson56 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Looks great Rob, personally, I would prefer a backer. Hanging as it is is fine for now, but what's it going to look like if hanged on a patterned wall? Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Monk Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Nice pattern and cutting. Also... good looking piece of wood. dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Very nice Rob, well cut. I think a backer would be best but you would have to check it out, just get a piece of black paper and see. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson56 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I looks Fantastic I see a nice sunset backer on it,if you want to go that route,or a black backer.But it should have a backer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I like it. I would find a forest picture off the net print it in colour and use as a backer to give the 3d effect you can stick it to card or thin ply and stick to the back..Roly Falcon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepy Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Nice job and yes I think it needs a backer. I really like that wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny Knappen Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I agree, a backer Is best. Black is most common, but maybe green or orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 Good looking cut. I would put a backer on it. That way it will look good no matter where it is hung up. If it was to go on a wall with a mix colored background I don't think it would look as good as it is. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Well I finally got around to putting a backer on it and agree that it is better. I was tempted to try multiple colours but in the end decided on simply black. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 (edited) Yep! I agree. Give it more of a finished look. Nice job. Edited June 15, 2016 by Scrappile Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
