Just had to cut this one

[heppnerguy]

When I saw this pattern by Kenny Hopkins I knew it was a must cut. I am just starting to try to learn to make frames so I hope to have some good improvements  with them as I go a long. I will try to make a frame for all my future cuts so some day they will hopefully be much better. I cut this one with Pegas #2 MG blades on 1/4 inch BB PLY. I am pretty satisfied with the end results.

Good patriotic project.

Was the stars hard? The cuts look good and consistent.

No the stars went really quickly. It was just a lot of turning but the piece I was cutting was only 12 X 12 in. so I had plenty of space to cut turn it. I thought at first I might have to use a spiral on them but it was easiest to just use the flat blade. If you like it, give it a try.

Great job Dick. I know the stars are to hardest to cut. You did a great job on the frame.

The color really makes it pop. I would have probably gone overboard and tried to paint the blue for the flag and a gray for the pole. As far as the frame, I see nothing wrong with that one. Looks like you pretty well have it mastered already.

I thought about painting the blue but sometimes paint seems to follow the grain, especially in BB so I opted out of that idea. I probably will cut another one before too much longer and perhaps I will give that a try.

I agree, great job!  I think the frame looks fantastic
