iwo jima(uncommon valor) complete!

[tomsteve]

i think i had about 10 ish hours cutting this over a while. im thinking there was around 300 cuts. fun one and i think the blue stain pine with oak trim makes it pretty nice.

seems my thoughts for a winter project have changed from a couple months ago. now my main project is dont freeze in the shop!:)

Excellent and you are right about the blue pine. The cutting is impressive enough but your choice of frame wood sets it off wonderfully. 

[Scrappile]

Really looks great!   Nice job all the way around!

Looks fantastic my son could have used that when giving his presentation on Iwo Jima in English two weeks ago. Where were you then? (lol)

[Scrolling Steve]

I like the way you framed it using the two different woods.

thanks!

believe it or not, that was a mistake. i made this inside dimensions of the frames the same size as the work. DOH!

i happened to have some oak in the lumber rack so cut/planed some down to 1/2" by 1/2" and cut to fit.

Very nice work. Thanks for sharing.

That looks outstanding, great work.  Really like the frame and the way it came out.  What a super way to cover your a -- -  with the use of oak trim.  Wonderful save.

thanks for showing it to us.

The best skill to have as a woodworker is the ability to be able to fix mistakes.

Unfortunately " one who masters the ability to fix mistake first must make many mistake." lol.

Very nice cutting. You should be proud.

Tom, they're very nice looking cuttings, and I imagine they were fairly tough to complete. I can see them, but not all that well. What did you take the pics with, there seems to be a fog over the pics.

awesome job

[Sycamore67]

An excellent job

[fastfreddy]

beautifully done, and love the frame choice.

That came out great. I also did one of Iwo Jima but a little different. I had a lot of stars to cut and they were a pain to do. I didn't frame it though. maybe I should.

its quite amazing what a frame can do. with this one, i think the right mat and framed it would be outstanding
