[Rockytime]

That's really cool!

[Dragonkort]

oh thats really good!  did you paint  it or glue a picture to the  wood, and IF you glued a picture to the wood how did you do it so the picture dosnt peal off?  i love making puzzles almost as much as i HATE doing them lol but when i cut the puzzle out a lot of times the edges peal back from the wood.  I use the spray adheaves to glue the picture on to the wood...and then i use clear polyurthine as a finish. is there something better to use for either the glue or the finish that would slove the problem?

[Dave Monk]

Looks great Kevin.

Are you gluing the picture and the wood??  That is what I have done in the past.  Also let it set at least 24 hours before cutting.

[Dragonkort]

ok lets see if i understand this i put the glue on both the picture and the wood?  and no i havent waited 24 hours....doing these two things should slove the problem!!!  thank you!!! now all i have to do is FIND my puzzle pictures lol

Just to clarify, glue the picture and the wood. Stick together almost immediately.  Then wait the 24 hours for the glue to set/cure.

I like that Kevin. I do that with 4x6 puzzle patterns. Glue the picture on the wood and cut it out. I like the way you did that one though. I woulld love to figure out how to do my grandkids names like that.

Well you know when you have grandkids you can't just do one. LOL. Probably at least 6 or 7. I have over 12 grandkids and great grandkids. I can't do them all though.

Nice cut and love the paintwork!
