State Plaque - Tennessee

[Denny Knappen]

I finished these Monday, October 28th.  The pattern designer is unknown and I purchased from Scroller Online.  I used 1/2" Poplar and backed with 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood stained black.  It is approximately 3 1/2" x 13".  I used FD UR #1 blades and finished with two coats spray Polyurethane Clear Satin.  Comments welcome.

Since my dream is to live in Tennessee, I love your plaque. Great job.

Yes, but my wife says she ain't goin' nowhere. Too old to move again.

Great cutting, I may borrow that idea for a friend of mine in Memphis, need to find a way to say roll tide on it too, he is an AL alumnus

Comment - I think I would have trimmed the back piece to match the really nice curve of the sign

Thanks Jim.  That is the way the pattern suggested.  Next time, I think I will glue the back before cutting out the outside and then cutting as you suggested.

I think I'd leave it the way it is. I think it sets off the whole thing. A border without being a border. I like it fine.

Great job.  My son live in Memphis and has for the past 3 years... He is loving it.

I really like that.. great design and cutting.. I did one for Michigan a few years ago.. But I'm waiting for the wood to thaw out so i can put a finish on it.. 

My wife and I both talk of moving to the Tennessee area one day.. I also like Texas.. Nice and hot.. I'd probably thaw out from this freezing temps we have in a few weeks of hot summer Texas weather... 

Just think of all the work I could do if I was warm and comfy.. Well not too sure about that.. Our slogan around here is work harder to stay warm.. LOL

This morning I cut 80 ornaments..( Pictures are in the Bragging section...) it was only 32F in my shop.. I came in around 1pm after it warmed up to 40F

Thanks Kevin.  I actually like this design rather than the designs of Keith Fenton although I made several of his.  Tennessee is a great state.  Coming from MN I can relate to the COLD.

I really like this design and the cutting.

For those pattern makers I did a post on how to this at
