A project finished Monday. This is a Steve Good pattern. I used 1/4" solid Walnut and backed with 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood. I used 3/8" so that it would hold the hanger without going through the wood. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using #1R MGT blades on all interior cuts and #3R on the exterior cuts. The finish is one coat spray Shellac as a sanding sealer. Then two coats MinWax Lacquer Clear Satin, sanding in between coats. I should have used 1/8" so that the white would show through the Walnut. 150 holes. Comments welcome.

I saw this one on Steve's page. I thought it would make an interesting project. You proved my thoughts to be correct. Looking good

Thanks Dick.  I like how it turned out, but there were 150 holes.  Some holes real small.

It is a great piece.  Very well done.

I concur, thiner cut panel would have been visualy better.  I have found that to be a truism for most fretcut projects where the background needs to show through.

Thanks Frank.  I didn't have a piece of 1/8" Walnut.  I should have stained Baltic Birch plywood.  I still like the look of the Walnut.

I often use the Walnut 5/32" purebond Solid Core ply I get fron HD.  Add some Walnut stain and it even look better.  Finishes beautifuly.

Well done!

I've been thinking of doing this pattern for some time.  The way that you have utilized the pattern is an inspiration and I think that I I have some Walnut somewhere that will be appropriate.   The only problem will be in finding that Walnut.
