My first attempt at designing  - Maybe one day I will be as good as Sue Mey. It looked mighty fine on paper.  But cut, I am not so sure any more.

Padauk - untreated as of yet.  I need to get a dipping pan for the linseed oil. 

 

 

 

 

Note:  I feel you can't see the forest for the trees or the Letters for the decorations.  What do you think?  Honest replies appreciated.    It should read "Frohe Weihnachten"

Note 2:  The Forum turned the picture again - I swear I photographed it upright.

Monti, I honestly think it is an outstanding cutting, you did well. I would put it up against some of Sue Mey's work, I think it looks like a real interesting pattern to cut. Keep up with your pattern making, you definitely know what you are doing. If I were rating this design on a 1-10 scale, I would rate it at a strong 9 very very close to a ten.

Nice job cutting.  It is very well done.  Once I knew what it said I could see the words.  I would suggest making the letters follow the circle.  I was thrown off by the N and the W.  They are turned 90 degrees from the rest of the letters; the N looked like a Z and the W looked like a 3.  Keep up the designing.

I too like it...It does look a little busy to me and takes a little time to read it. I like all the little ornimental things in it too. Very nice pattern. I was thinking that if you made is a little larger and the letters a little bit bolder, perhaps it would be easier to read.   Your pattern is really wonderful and so is your cutting..

What happened ? did you drop it?

With that design I had trouble pulling the letters out especially the Weinachten ( I speak German by the way). If it were my cut yo make it clearer I  would under cut the edges of the letters  to make it seem that they are proud of the rest of the cutting.
