Popular Post FrankEV Posted September 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 This is a Wooden Teddy Bear pattern cut out of 1/4" solid core ply using a Pegas #1 MGT and a #1 Pegas spiral blade for the leaves. The Rose is painted with craft acylic paints. The backer is an 8x10 piece of 1/8" thk BB Ply stained with a clear stain. After the painted rose was glued to the backer the panel was finished with multiple coats of clear gloss lacquar. The panel is loose fit into a store bought frame and uses the cardboard backer with table stand that comes with the frame to hold the panel into the frame. It can, therefore, be a wall hanging or table displayed. This was a quick "fun cut" taking less than 2 hours. Painting and finishing was much more time consuming that the scroll work.

amazingkevin Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 I too find that painting or staining doubles the work . Looks real good Frank!!! FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two patterns on one sheet from The Wodden Teddy Bear. I liked this one the best of the two. The other has the word LOVE as part of the stem also but in a script type font that you need to have the Rose horizontal in order to read it. I liked the simplicity of the single Rose, but without the addition of the color it just did not pop . Even using a contrasting backer, as most projects do, it was just tooooooo simple! Thanks meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted September 17, 2020 Report Share Posted September 17, 2020 A little hard to see the rose detail in the pic but, the project looks great! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Nice work and well finished. Question: you refer to "solid core." Is that just three layers, one center layer with a veneer on each side? I'm just not familiar with the term FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that just three layers, one center layer with a veneer on each side? I'm just not familiar with the term Yes, it is only three layers. The center layer seems to be a dense wood celuloise (sp?) material. Cuts relatively clean if you are careful at sharp points. Works well with both regular and spiral blades. I believe the panels are intended for use with Laser cutting equipment. I get them delivered to my home free in boxes of ten from Home Depot. They are called Columbia Forest Products PureBond Plywood Project Panels and come in 5/32" thk or 1/4" thk and are 12" X19". They can be gotten in various woods. I typically use Maple and Walnut. The walnut when stainded with a wallnut stain can be made very dark for good contrast between the top and bottom layers of a project. About $30/box or $3/panel, depending on the thickness and wood type. IMHO it cuts nicer/cleaner and finishes better than BB Ply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse I use natural window light when I shoot the pics of my projects on wall in my sunroom. All the pics come out a little on the dark side but if I use flash there is toooo much harsh light bounce back. I need to get a better photo light source. Next I'll be probably have to build a photo studio to take pics of the projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
