Make love not war, Alex Fox.

[preprius]

I decided to try @alexfox newest Make Love Not War.

For my use I only needed the top layer on a backer.  But I had to downsize to 2.75inches wide. 

This made the branches really thin. I used a 2/0 spiral going slow. I did the internal letter first. I forgot to drill an "O".  It was too late to drill it. So I left it alone. Next I did the letters.  There was just enough space between the letters and ribbon outline for the 2/0 spiral.  It shows i need more practice with the spirals. 

Oh it is on 1/8" thick Maple. Not plywood.

To enhance the 3D effect, I cut outer edge at 45 deg. with #1mgt.  Very difficult.  I had to pay extra attention.  I did this last. 

This is unfinished.  The backer still has a few weeks to be finished.

The attached 3 pics show black walnut back,  maple back and a pic with pattern still on.  

The patterns shows smoke marks from using a flame to get the fuzzies off.
