Wolf an Moon

I want to thank @Jim Blume for the great pattern. I used 3M 77 spray glue to attach 1/8" BB to 1/4" BB backer. Frame made of poplar and stained Minwax black along with the backer.  My first fret work project in quite a while.

high contrast really makes this version easy on the eyes.   

But my brain keeps thinking the light is the holes.  But my brain is wrong.

That makes a lot of wood cut out. 

Very pleasant to look at, but hard on the brain.

Well executed.

Very well done, Dave.  That sure is a delicate project.  Nicely framed.

Nice job, Dave. If this was your first fret work in a while you ought to be back in the swing of things with all those cuts. When I'm cutting something that fragile, I'm always worried I'll have a piece break out. Again, great job!

[Rockytime]

That looks absolutely terrific!

Very nice, excellent framing job too! really showcases the piece!

Thanks! I'm always a bit nervous sanding the fuzees off after I have it complete.

On a pattern like this I would use a flame on low to burn fuzzes off the back. Works good.

Another beautiful piece Dave, even though it’s been awhile since you did fret work, you have not lost your touch, RJ

Never thought about burning the fuzzes off. I thought that would blacken the wood, especially the lighter, softer wood.

Awesome piece.  It looks extremely fragile.  Amazing work.

You burn the fuzzies on the back side that won’t show.
