Popular Post britetomro Posted May 18, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 I completed this project a few months back. The original pattern by Alex Fox was approximately 7" square and was designed as a single piece. Wanting more I decided to up the stakes. Wanting something to really show a presence for display I enlarged the pattern so each quarter of the pattern was 11" square. I stack cut each layer by 4 pieces with 1/8" baltic birch ply. Overall there are 8 layers to this project. The next step after gluing the 8 layers together was to sand the edges to create perfect 90 degree corners so no gaps showed where the 4 quarters of the project were glued together. The frame is made of 2" thick popular with walnut applied to the corners for a slight contrast. Overall this project measures over 24" square. Thanks for looking. frankorona, MTCowpoke22, New Guy and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexfox Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) Great cutting, but it is not my pattern - it was my first layered project which I made about one year ago. This pattern was designed by Gabriel Schama. I liked it so much that I started to make my own layered patterns. And now I have 35 layered patterns.

britetomro Posted May 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Alex, Was somewhat confused. I have purchased almost a dozen of your patterns and this one is what led me to you and I have cut most of them. I believe this one came out of Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts Magazine. Thanks for the update on the designer of this pattern as well as the comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Great piece. Is that all out of the same wood? Or is it the light reflecting off of two different grain directions? Make a neat effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britetomro Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 Good question Scrappile, Each layer was cut with the grain running in the same direction. The change in color from the opposite corners if the effect of the light reflecting off the grain. If you were to turn the piece 1/4 turn the color would change to the opposite corners due to the change in light and its reflection off the grain. Great effect of light in contrast with the wood grain. No doubt pleased with the results. Thanks for the comments from everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
