Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted December 6, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 This is Jim Blume's "Americana 3" pattern. It is 1/4 inch Maple ply with 1/4 inch pine backing. It was cut using Pegas 2/0 spiral blades. The front is stained with Minwax Natural and then coated with several layers of clear gloss spray with light sanding between each coat. The backer was simply painted a flat black. The frame is a pine 1 X board cut down and stained with Minwax Red Oak. I've had this finished for a couple weeks but finally finished the frame today. I plan to cut several more from Jim's Americana series and make a set. This was a lot of fun and I'm look forward to start on the others. flarud, Scrappile, frankorona and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidAlien Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Love the frame, knots/dings add character, in my opinion. Well cut pattern, too! Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted December 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Thanks Kirk. I too like the rustic look of the frame. I also thought it would go well with the "Americana" theme Jim portrays in that series of patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
