Whisper Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'll be painting/staining these tomorrow. The patterns came from JGR. I'm cutting all her free intarsia patterns. I had the snowman for weeks and didn't even want to try to cut out the owl, the nose is the size of a baby's little fingernail. There are plenty of things I did wrong on these. I did 2 Santa Bears. All are 1/2 inch plywood. I'm not sure if I should paint them where the grain doesn't show through or what yet. I'm planning on finishing all tomorrow and will post pics when they are done. These are the hardest ones I've tried so far. My husband is getting nervous with all these bears hanging around the house. lol I am thinking to do some wood burning on some of the details. Just wanted to drop in and let you all know I didn't quit scrolling yet. frankorona, RabidAlien, jollyred and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjR Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Looking good. A note--woodburning plywood is very tricky! It never seems to come out as I want it to when I have tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 Nicely done, Linda! Really nice cuttings. May I suggest, now you could try some 3/4" pine and cut those same projects. After they are cut, round the edges over to please your eye. You could either cut them as a segmented piece (since they're to be painted) or, follow the grain directions on the patterns for the intarsia look. Of course, if you use the intarsia style with the grain directions changing, you would probably just want to use a thinned down paint job so the grain still shows through. (these are just some rambling thoughts that you may be interested in trying). Very nice work! God Bless! Spirithorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
