jollyred Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) This is a 1923 BMW motorcycle cutout I made for the other father-in-law, since he likes to restore old BMW motorcycles. I made the pattern from a picture using Inkscape. The wood is 1/2" cherry, unfinished. The finish will be floor finish (as is done by Steve Good). Not a great photo, but I am still working on getting a setup to take pictures of my projects. Edited April 13, 2017 by jollyred Lucky2 and bobscroll 2 Quote

Fab4 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Hi Thomas: Nice looking piece for most part Personally, I would re do it and keep the inside part of the 9 Then it would be a keeper for sure Fab4 Quote
penquin Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Well done, looks great. He should really enjoy getting that. jim penquin Quote
heppnerguy Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 well cut...He should like it a lot... the suggestion that Fab4 made, should not be taken as a criticism but as a helpful suggestion.. When one starts scrolling these things happen quite a bit but after awhile the trained eye understands this will happen and stops short of completing an enclosed area, causing it to become a large hole instead of a number. the eye usually imagines that the line extends to the end, even though it does not. You did a great job cutting this out and you desire to feel very proud of you work Dick heppnerguy Quote
bobscroll Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Really nice scrolling there Thomas, Thanks for showing, Bob Quote
Denny Knappen Posted April 13, 2017 Report Posted April 13, 2017 Well done. I am sure it will be well liked. Quote

Dave Monk Posted April 14, 2017 Report Posted April 14, 2017 Nice job! I'm sure your father in law will love it. Quote
jollyred Posted April 14, 2017 Author Report Posted April 14, 2017 Actually, the inside of the nine disappeared into the sawdust on the floor while I was sanding. Guess I was a little too aggressive. I thought of redoing it, and I still might. Time will tell. Quote
wombatie Posted April 14, 2017 Report Posted April 14, 2017 Looks great Thomas, good work on the pattern too. Marg Quote
