Popular Post avenuewood Posted September 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) Hello all, just finished this pattern. Now this really did test me. It is a Charles Hand pattern. Thank you Charles, I hope I have done it justice. Should have said it is larger than the suggested size. Coming in at 24” x 19” 1/4” plywood.

Wilson142 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Well done! Nice pattern. What finish did you use? I am liking oil based finishes lately because of the amber color. Wasn't that long ago, I would only use water based in an effort to avoid yellowing. I must be evolving. lol OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avenuewood Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Wilson142 I have just covered it with BLO. The backer board is satin black. OCtoolguy and Wilson142 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzarkSawdust Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 WOW! What a beautiful piece of work! I've seen Charles Hand patterns on his website...they are all amazing! I hope to attempt one ( the easiest I can find! ) by this winter. How long did it take you? Did you work on that only...or take a break and go back to it? I think I read on here somewhere a scroller took a break to work on a simpler pattern and returned fresh to finish a complicated one.

avenuewood Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 It took me about 4 days to complete. I did about 4 hours at a time and then went onto something else. It was a bit nerve wracking getting towards the end. The whole piece was getting very fragile. Made the frame this morning. Used about 10 Niqua #1 blades. Only used the Niqua’s for the whole project. Had not used #1 blades before but went really well. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 You did a great job on that. Like the finish and backer also.. Really nice. I have cut two of his ornate patterns so far and have three more to do.. I really enjoy cutting them. I like to have one ready and use it a filler work from working on other things. I dropped the ornate tigras one the other day, broke the lower jaw off, so I get a do over on it....

avenuewood Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Thanks for all the replies. It is amazing how patterns like this are designed. Way above my head. i have another one of Charles patterns but that is a 340 cut one. Need to recover from this one before I start that.

Just starting, I've only used #5s but have some FD UR 2/0, 1, and 3 that should be here in the next day or two. Looking forward to trying them.
