Popular Post FrankEV Posted July 27, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 This Horse Head pattern was converted from an available on-line image to add to my Horse theme pieces. The conversion transformed a positive image into a negative for cutting. The cut panel is 5/32” thk x 11 x 17 solid core Maple mounted to a 1/4” thk darkened oak backer. The cutting was done with Pegas #1 MGT R. Assembled panel was finished with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Spray Lacquer. The Frame is 1 ¾” wide Poplar. The frame was distressed and finished with Minwax Early American Stain protected with Clear Satin Spray Polyurethane.

Distreseeing is easy...making it flawless is difficult. I have some very rough rasp like bits that can chuck into a drill, or in my case a power wand from a bench top motor. I just lightly run the cylindrical rasp bit over the face of the frame with som bumps and wiggles...chews it up good. Then I used my Dremel tool in its drill press holder to punch a bunch or worm holes here and there.. I then knock off the real rough stuff with a little corse grit sand paper, and "WALA", a distressed frame from some nice wood in just a very few minutes. The Minwax Early American stain goes well. Of course Satin Poly. Now everyone knows my secret . Edited July 27, 2022 by FrankEV CSull 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
