Popular Post Fran L Posted February 1, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Made my second door topper to replace my nativity one from last month. It’s “Five Seasons of Life” by Clark Weeks. I followed suggestions made here to try spiral blades because of the 28” length and am happy how it was easier to manipulate for the cuts. Still need some practice with them. I used FD spirals #1 and #3. Ironically, the middle panel I used FD #5 for the straight cut and it was the worst cut of the project. Used the spirals for the rest and they turned out better, probably focused on them a little more. jollyred, new2woodwrk, frankorona and 12 others 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Looks good Fran! If I was to cut that pattern, I would of cut the pattern between two panels, essentially shortening the pattern into two manageable sections. Then I would cut the backer board on the table saw. Then glue the two panels to the backer board. Fran L 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing it Thanks Jes! I used 1/4" BB, treated it with Danish Oil then used 2 coats of Minwax Oak Polyshades. The backing is also 1/4" BB painted black. I took the picture before I glued the backing on, they do line up in the finished project. new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
