Rob Posted May 30, 2016 Report 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 lawson56, TripleJScroller, Smudger and 3 others 6 Quote
Lucky2 Posted May 30, 2016 Report 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

Dave Monk Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 Nice pattern and cutting. Also... good looking piece of wood. dave Quote
wombatie Posted May 30, 2016 Report 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
lawson56 Posted May 30, 2016 Report 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
Phantom Scroller Posted May 30, 2016 Report 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
Scrolling Steve Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 I always like the color and grain of that wood.......Well done ! Quote
Kepy Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 Nice job and yes I think it needs a backer. I really like that wood. Quote
daveww1 Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 great job of cutting, I also think it needs a backer. Quote
Denny Knappen Posted May 30, 2016 Report Posted May 30, 2016 I agree, a backer Is best. Black is most common, but maybe green or orange. Quote
penquin Posted May 30, 2016 Report 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
Rob Posted June 15, 2016 Author Report 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
Scrappile Posted June 15, 2016 Report 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
tmbits Posted June 15, 2016 Report Posted June 15, 2016 I LOVE this! Nicely done! I like the backer! Rob 1 Quote
