 The pattern for this11X14 portrait is from Dugly Graphics Website.  The cut panel was 1/4" solid core Walnut Plywood and afixed to a 1/8" natural BB Plywood backer. The cut panel was selectively colored with various color stains except the leaves which was done with acrylic craft paint. The panel was cut with Pegas 2/0 spiral blades except for the perrimeter border that was cut with a Pegas #5 MGT R.  Don't know why, but this seemingly rather simple pattern gave me more fits than the much more complicated patterns I have previously done.

The finish panel looks much better in person than the photo shows.  When a image is superimposed onto a backer, such as in this case, shadows tend to be more pronounced and distract from the image.  An 1/8" cut panel may have been a better choice.

The panel is set loose, using framing points, in another simple frame, made form Red Oak that was brightened using Minwax Sadona Red stain. and then protected with spray Polyurethane.
