"R" is for my Lady

[FrankEV]

My lady's name is Robin, but she loves Hummingbirds...now ain't that a contradiction.  I guess that is why she calls herself "Bird Brain".

Steve Good included the "initialhummer.pdf" in a recent e-mail so you can guess I just had to make the "R" for Robin.  I modified it litttle to make it into a framed piece rather than a Hanging ornament.   Lots of holes - 12 to be exact - cut mostly with Pegas #1 mgt and #2/0 spiral. Perimeter cut done with #3 mgt.  

She hasn't seen it yet so it gets wrapped and put under the tree for Christmas morning, 

Cut is 5/32" Maple solid core ply approx 9" x 8" with a Walnut Solid Core Ply backer darkened with Minwax Walnut stain.  Added a 12' x 10" mat with a third pice of BB ply Panel finished with multiple coats of spray gloss Lacquer. 

The custom frame is Poplar with a routed decorative inside edge stained with Minwax Eexpresso and finished with Wipe On Poly.
