Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 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.

FrankEV Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Pellow Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 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.
