Chinese Dragon

[FrankEV]

This is an Alex Fox pattern I resized slightly to fit a 10X17 Panel.  The cut panel is 5/32” Maple solid core plywood affixed to a 1/4” BB backer.  The Backer was painted with a combination of wet coats of Black and Dark Green spray in an attempt to add a slight green tint to the background color.   Did not quite get the effect I was looking for as the Black was dominant.  The finished panel was finished with multiple coats of spray clear gloss Lacquer. 

The cut was done with Pegas #0 and #1 spiral blades.  The cutting was relatively easy although a lot of the cut pattern consists of a many very small repetitive shaped cuts and therefore, I found, a little boring.  However, the completed cut, I feel, turned out nice and very unique.     

The panel is set loose in a custom made poplar frame that I stained with Minwax Ebony stain and protected with multiple coats of clear gloss Polyurethane.

The following pics were taken with two different lighting conditions.  The first photo is more true color.
