Denny Knappen Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think Roly is right, but I grew up in a small town in MN called Robbinsdale. Yes, two 'b's. BigD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 First thing I noticed Dave was spelling of Robbins but I now understand why. I think your cutting is fine and I like the pattern very much. Well done. Myself I would just add a black backer. If paint is to your liking I would paint complete pattern feathering out the edges.

BigD Posted October 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Dave I buy 6mm sheets of birchply from Jewsons 8 foot x 4 ft in old imperial size and they will order oak ply and other types. then cut them up. Roly Cheers Roly, will try Jewsons, I'm sure there's a local to me. The place I normally use for timber would sell only a full sheet fo nearly £50.

WayneMahler Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Great job done here. Especially for your 6th try. As for the color, I don't care for it. Keep up the good work . BigD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdatelle Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 No problem with the cutting. The color you are using takes away from the piece. I like the color that Russell did on his sample. I would just use a colored background. Good for only your 6th try. Keep at it and you will get better. We were all in your shoes once.

Debi Shipman Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) Only finished my 3rd project here, but it looks great to me. I'm going to be the odd man out....again. lol I like the paint "smudges". it gives it a hint of color without being overbearing.

Sparkey Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 The cutting looks great to me. Just a personal thing but I'm not a fan of paint. I would rather try to change the look with background colors. BigD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
