Popular Post CSull Posted May 16, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 16, 2022 (edited) Cut from 1/4BB and backed with1/8BB I used Aspen for the frame and added the inlays. I also used my spline jig for the first time and used purple heart for the splines. The addition of the splines was easier than I thought-I will probably use them more. Any advice or suggestions are appreciated. Edited May 16, 2022 by CSull left out part meflick, TexasDIY, preprius and 17 others 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjweb Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 The only thing I can suggest is, that is beautiful and you should be proud of what you completed, especially like the inlay on the frame, RJ CSull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb.j.enders Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Beautiful job. The inlay really pops and the purple heart compliments the inlay nicely. CSull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted May 17, 2022 Report Share Posted May 17, 2022 Excelent job on both the cutting and the frame. The nice wide border between cut panel and frame really works well and makes the piece seem large. What size is the cut panel? What size backer? What is width of frame rails?

The cut panel is 8x10 and the backer is 10x12. I used 1inch rails and rounded over the outer edges. The inlay is 1/4 inch width. I think I got carried away with the inlay-if I were to do it again or use inlay in the future I would center shorter strips on the rails, maybe 8 inch lengths or so. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, personally really like the inlay exactly like it is. Where did you purchase the inlay? I would really like to see what all they have. The cutting is excellent. This is one really wonderful project in every way. Dick heppnerguy FrankEV and CSull 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwine Posted May 18, 2022 Report Share Posted May 18, 2022 Beautiful job all around and the inlay on the frame is just right! Any other projects that you do with the idea of inlay on the frame, you won't go wrong by doing it like this one! Great job!

spirithorse Posted May 22, 2022 Report Share Posted May 22, 2022 Wow! That is beautiful work! The only advice I could possibly give is, I have heard people mention that they had problems using purple heart with poplar because sometimes any sanding or any liquid from glue or anything will make the purple heart bleed into the poplar. Be extra careful! You certainly don't want to ruin a great project like this in the final stages! God Bless! Spirithorse CSull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaughn Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 The inlays on the frame and the blue embellishment really dress up the wood-cut portrait. Well done! Bruce CSull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
