Popular Post Fish Posted March 28, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 This is a pattern from a book by Patrick Spielman. 1/2” Walnut. Any ideas for a color background so you can see it better? spotsdad, frankorona, nebur9362 and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 A beautiful piece!!! Def a light color to make the stain pop. Not a white but maybe a creme or a colonial style color like a mustard or linen white. Can't wait to see it completed! tomsteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsteve Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 beautiful!! i thought that was purpleheart for a minute. colors for a background.....hhmmm.... im thinking a pale cobalt blue, which probably has a jillion other names to it. or maybe even a line green. or maybe even an orange. something like that i think id take to somewhere like joann fabric or michaels- some place with a plethora of different colored stuff like posterboards and cloth- and do some serious complicating.

blights69 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Great piece as for a backer colour I would go straw coloured Thanks for showing us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hard to say about a backer color, would stick some different color poster paper behind it and see what looks best, hard to say by the color of the wood. Cutting looks super. Can't wait to see how you do it. jim penquin Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdatelle Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Looks good to me the way it is. What ever wall you put it on will be your back ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DWSUDEKUM Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Very nicely done. A light green or light blue would do the trick nicely. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Monk Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 That looks super. How would natural baltic birch look behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks again everyone. My wife and I tried different colors I still don’t think you can see it very well but here’s a few. I didn’t cut it out on the last two. Looks like it has to be the white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
