rdatelle Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Well I gave this a shot and it wasn't easy. I want to thank Mahendra for doing this pattern for me and also Dave Monk for giving me the idea and some tips. This is cut out of 1/4 inch B/B with a 1/8 backer. There was so much small detail that I had to use a # 64 drill bit which is very tiny and a # 1 ultra reverse blade which was the only blade that would fit in the drill hole. I was glad I had both available. I did increase the pattern to 9 1/2 x 13. I made it a little easier to do but not that much. Comments and advice always welcome. Thanks Ralph.

dgman Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Great work Ralph! The only advice I would give was given to you by Russell yesterday, and that is to make it larger. When I do portraits, I don't size them to available frame sizes. I make my own frames so I size the frames to fit the portrait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
