Denny Knappen Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 The pttern is by Judy Peterson and found in SWWC Holiday Ornaments, Toys and Gifts Vol 2. It is made from Poplar approximately 7" high. I used FD Polar #5 blades and Shellac finish. Comments welcome. lawson56, Scrappile, frankorona and 4 others 7 Quote

Would you please tell us about finishing puzzles with shellac? Do you have any issues fitting the pieces due to the shellac? Thank you for sharing Sam Quote

I actually dilute the Shellac with 50% alcohol making a sanding sealer. This dries quickly and very little surface finish. With this finish there is no issues fitting. Quote
Rockytime Posted October 31, 2017 Report Posted October 31, 2017 I like the cutting. It is simple and so am I. I do like cutting puzzles as they do not take too long and the gratification comes quickly. Quote

orangeman Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 I tried that pattern a couple years ago because I thought it was a winner . Thought it would sell but it was a bust! Wound up giving them away to a local charity. Hope you do better. bb Quote
dgman Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Looks great Denny! That pattern is actually a good seller for me. I have five for my two day sale this weekend and expect to sell them all @ $24. Quote
wombatie Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 That looks great Denny. I wish I could get some poplar here in Oz. Marg Quote
Blaughn Posted November 1, 2017 Report Posted November 1, 2017 Beautiful job, Denny. I look at the grain of the poplar and I might have been tempted to run it vertically to simulate folds in the angel's gown.... Either way I like the outcome - alot! Bruce Quote

I've been looking for that but haven't found it - "yet" Is it a special addition of the magazine or a book they published? Quote
