Popular Post TexasDIY Posted June 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 This is my take on the nativity scene that several of you have also done. It measures 17x22" in 1/4" baltic birch. The backer is also 1/4" that is painted black with acrylic paint. The frame is chair molding from Lowes that is glued and pin nailed from the back onto the baltic birch. The frame is stained dark walnut. Everything is sprayed with shellac and then top coated with satin lacquer. The pattern is a Sullyscroller pattern. Everything was cut with spiral blades. The tiny details like the eyes were with a 2/0 blade. The largest blade I used was a #3.

heppnerguy Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Really nice project. You are showing a lot of scrollers what the 'horrible' spiral is made for. Keep up the great work. Dick heppnerguy TexasDIY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 I agree with Dick (heppnerguy), very nice cutting. Great job using spiral blades. Spriral are pretty much all I use. The largest spirial I would have used would have been an #0 or #1. I don't even own anything larger. I like the detail you can achieve with small blades...especially the sharp pointy peaks and valleys. TexasDIY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse I have no idea why it is called that. Lowes calls it: 1-1/4-in x 8-ft White Hard Unfinished Chair Rail Moulding. There are at least 3 different widths. spirithorse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-in-Ashland Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 In some older homes dinning rooms there is a molding strip on the wall at the height of the back to prevent the chair back from damaging the lath & plaster wall. Hence, "Chair Rail Molding" TexasDIY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Thanks for the reply, @TexasDIY and thank you @Tom-in-Ashland That makes perfect sense now that you have pointed it out to me! LOL God Bless! Spirithorse TexasDIY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
