Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted August 2, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I finally got my hands on some quality 1/4 inch BB and wanted to try stack cutting. This is a Steve Good pattern and was cut with #3 MGT. I finished them with natural and red pine Minwax followed by 4 coats of clear gloss with light 300 grit sanding between coats. I wanted to keep the thickness to a minimum so the backer board is actually heavy card stock that has been lightly painted (which seem to work fine). Hope you enjoy.

wombatie Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 Very nice but I much prefer the black background, easier to see. Marg Dak0ta52 and Roberta Moreton 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawson56 Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 A Most Excellent job! But I as well Like the Black background better. Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 I too like the black background as it is easier to see the get cutting. But I do like the pine stained top. You say "pine Minwax" Is that the puritan pine or the Ipswich Pine. I have a project that I am working on now and I want to stain and this colour would be perfect. Thanks Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2woodwrk Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 The black IMO is much easier to see - I really couldn't make out the image in the red but the black really Popped for me Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I went to the shop to be sure and it turns out the stain is Minwax Red Oak 215. I agree the black background does stand out with the lighter finish. Just wanted to make them different. I've thought about removing the red backer and going with a much lighter color to give it more contrast. Maybe that would work better.
