Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted May 12, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 (edited) This pattern is one FrankEV posted a month or so ago. I love this song and knew I wanted to cut it when I seen the piece Frank had shared. I used 1/4 inch oak ply for the front and a 1/4 inch underlayment material for the backer. (Less expensive and usable since it is painted and a limited amount shows.) As with most of my projects the piece is stained with Minwax Natural and has 5 coats clear gloss with light sanding between coats. In the enlarged picture it appears to have grit (or specks) in the finish but it is actually a reflection from direct sunlight. The piece is actually very smooth and clean. The backer is painted gloss black. The frame is pine stained with Minwax Red Oak. Franks was much better because of the colors he added but I'm still pleased with how this project turned out. I recently purchased some water color pencils and plan to give them a try after doing a little testing first. I started a Jim Blume "American" piece so it will probably be a while for my next "Brag."

Dave Monk Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Turned out great. The pine frame sure matches the oak well. Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to color my work, but that in itself does not make it better, maybe just a little different. Just me, but would have liked to see a little wider (maybe 1") dark border around the cut panel inside the frame.

Whenever I design something using font's I try very hard to use Script, Then can just cut from letter to letter without all the stopping and starting.

It was after I glued the front to the backer that I realized the backer should have been larger. Live and learn I guess!

heppnerguy Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 What a wonderful project. I was told about this pattern by my good friend, Scrapile, Paul, when I talked with him yesterday on the phone. He told my, he is also cutting this pattern. I can see why. It is amazing. One of the best 'word art ' patterns I have ever witnessed. Dick heppnerguy Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
