This is another Jim Blume pattern I previously cut and has become one of my best sellers. This was one of a double stack using the new type of wood (Blonde) at my local box store. The piece is 11X14 with my typical finish of Natural stain with a black backer followed by 4-coats of Polyacrylic. Frame was made using framing material. While this wood is not as pretty as Maple or Birch, I haven't had any problems with it delaminating as I have had with the "premium" wood. Thanks, Jim, for another beautiful pattern.

You did a nice job. Very nice capture of bonding buddies.

Some of those hairlines look pretty long and fragile. The bridal chain loops also look scary to cut.

My chiropractor "John Red Eagle" adjusts horses and people. Both him and his daughter "River" rides in rodeos.   She would love this.

Surprisingly it is a pretty sturdy piece when cutting. This was cut on a 1/4-inch ply. I would think a 1/8-inch may be a little tricky but that would be true an almost any piece you cut. My most difficult cut I ever did was of a mare and foal. The piece only had six cuts but they zig-zagged up and down, back and forth to create the design. After all cuts were done there were several areas only held on by small pieces.

I live in a very rural area that is loaded with primarily pleasure riders. All my horses have passed on so I allow a friend to let his cattle graze my pasture. Keeps me from having to bush hog.
