Nice tiger   Tell us about the frame.

That would have taken me a week but then I only get 1.5 to 2 hours a day.  It looks awesome.

There is no frame.

I just left 3/4 inch border all the way around, then I taped off the cutting and painted the border.

Kinda cheated, but I think it looks pretty good.

Looks awesome!!  Would've taken me a week or so to cut, I'm like Marg, I only get a couple of hours a day to cut...sometimes longer on the weekends, if there's no other honey-doo's to be do'n.

 

Nice work on the "frame"!  I couldn't tell a difference, myself.  Made me think, though, has anybody tried cutting a "frame" out of ply, one solid piece, and then just attaching it to a project?  That'd certainly be a lot easier than making one from scratch...

Yep, I did just that on this piece. A whole lot easier than trying to make a frame.

I think that's a brilliant piece, beautifully cut.  May I ask where the pattern came from?  I'd love to attempt that.

I cut that! Charles Dearing?  It did take a while! 

[Denny Knappen]

Very well done.  Those whiskers look almost impossible.
