FrankEV Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) I purchased this vector file from Etsy of a cartoon Cockerel by LaserDesignBel. I did not know what a Cockerel was but, after looking it up on Google, I found the it is a British English name for a young Rooster. I though the image was something different and looked like a fun piece to make. I found a number of colored images of a Cartoon version of a Cockerel that I use as an aid to adding the color. Cutting was quite easy even though the pattern was designed for Laser cutting, I used Pegas #2/0 spiral blades throughout. I sized the pattern to fit on an 11” x 17” backer. I cut the image in 5/32” solid core Walnut ply that I enhanced the Walnut color with Minwax Dark Walnut Stain. The cut panel is affixed to a hand painted 1/4” BB Ply Backer using Acrylic Art Paints after which the panel was finished with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Spray Lacquer. The panel is mounted in my usual simple 1 3/4” wide Poplar Frame that was stained with Minwax Aged Oak and finished with two coats of Minwax Satin Wipe-On Poly. After you stop laughing you are welcome to critique my work.
