How did you apply the red  color?   You might want to try the ADDING COLOR TO SCROLLING method????  Travis added instructions.

I think you might like it??????  

John,  I just cut some scrap book paper (card stock) to fit the spaces.  The rest is a dark blue.  I have read your article in adding colour and will give it a try on another project.

Beautiful pieces, Barb. Love the grain. Looks like you stack cut but with the way the grain matches it would have been nice to have a different lighthouse on one so you could have sold them as a pair.

I did stack cut.  I am not a fan of the material I used.  There was a fair bit of breakout on the back side.

Love the front side and how you accented the colours.  Looks fantastic.

Now you tell me about the material.  LOL I just received from KPJ the sample pack plus 4 sheets of white oak and have no idea what I am going to do with them.  This does give me ideas.

Don,  It isn't all that bad to cut.  I probably should have used different blades.  I find the open "sides" difficult to finish.  I typically dip in Tung Oil and it doesn't finish the edges very well.  I should probably be putting a sealer on first but it is hard on a fret work piece.
