Popular Post Dak0ta52 Posted August 15, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I was commissioned to do a barrel racer for a young lady that won the championship last year. Both pieces are cut on 1/4 Ply Oak with a 1/4 ply Birch backer. The cut piece is stained with Minwax natural, and the backer is stained with Minwax Espresso. The wood frame is stained with Minwax Colonial Pine and the gold frame is pre-fab framing material. Both frames are strengthened with splines in the corners. The pattern, by Julie Popowicz, was altered slightly per request of the customer. The beer logo was removed from the barrel.

John B Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 A great cutting Rodney. I have that pattern and was going to cut it for this weekend, as we are having a stall at a Rodeo. Unfortunately other things soaked up the time. Dak0ta52 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to build up my Western/Horse pieces. They are having a big trail ride Labor Day weekend and I've been asked to set up a booth. I've only done something similar one other time and that was a community yard sale. John B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kind of partial to the stained one also. My supply of pre-fab framing material is starting to dwindle. I have a bunch of small pieces but figure they would be really hard to glue and fit with splines. Also, the pieces I make are usually large enough that they need a little size to them. I don't want to make them so large that they distract from the cutting but rather complement it instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
