Popular Post FrankEV Posted May 10, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) A Sue May Pattern. Cut from a Walnut 5/32 solid core ply panel and mounted on a 1/4x12X18 Birch backer. the Walnut was stained with Minwax Dark Walnut to improve contrast. The backer was stained with Minwax Natural. The assembled panel was finisshed with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Lacquer. The cut was done with Pegas #0 spiral blades. The Frame is a smple 1 3/4" wide Walnut which was also stained with Minwax Dark Walnut to enhance the color and finished with multiple coats of Minwax Satin Wipe-on Poly.  Edit 5/11/2021: Just a little added information and rational. When I do a pattern like this that is applied on top of a backer so the image is raised, I'm very careful to make sure all the cut edges are stained as well to match. If left unstained, the cut edges are very noticable and a big distraction to the viewer.  In addition, by making sure the cut edges are stained, the fact that the panel is plywood is not as apparent, again making the image much more attractive to the viewer.  Also, it may be just me, but I realy like the presentation in a Frame rather then, how many would make it, as an unframed plaque. IMO, I  think it is much more elegant. Thanks to all who have made such positive comments.    Edited May 11, 2021 by FrankEV davidg, lawson56, young ned and 19 others 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
