Woody Woodpecker - Heh heh heh HEHHHH heh

FrankEV · October 2, 2022

OK, I just may be getting a bit carried away making another Cartoon Character.

The Cartoon characters of my (way back when) generation that I grew up on are easily found free on-line, easily converted to scrollable patterns and after cutting, easily colored with Artist Acrylic Paints to their original simple basic colors. Yes, I understand that Copyrights and Trademarks apply to the Images so selling these pieces may not be the best Idea. However, they are fun to make and bring back a lot of fond (ahem?) memories.

This Woody pattern is cut in 5/32” x 11” x17” Birch Solid Core Ply and affixed to a painted black 1/4” BB Ply backer. Cutting was done with a Pegas #1 MGT R blade. The assembled and painted panel was protected with multiple coats of Deft Clear Gloss Lacquer.

The frame is 1 3/4” wide Pine, primed and painted Glidden Gloss Black. I prefer Polar for my frames but even the Prime Grade Pine I’m using is a lot less expensive then Poplar is.

I’m currently working on a non-cartoon project, but I have a bunch of cartoon images in my files that I can convert and cut over time.
