Deer and Doe

[Rob]

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?

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?

Nice pattern and cutting. Also... good looking piece of wood. dave

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.

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.

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

I always like the color and grain of that wood.......Well done !

[Kepy]

Nice job and yes I think it needs a backer.  I really like that wood.

[daveww1]

great job of cutting, I also think it needs a backer.

I agree, a backer Is best.  Black is most common, but maybe green or orange.

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.

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.

Yep! I agree.  Give it more of a finished look.  Nice job.
