Russ Beard Fox

Whew, almost done with this one. Tomorrow I will add a couple of coats of shellac.

12 1/2 hrs of cutting 15 minutes for the plaque outline. 3/8" Elm for the plaque 1/8" hardboard for the backer, backer prepainted. FD Polar #1 for most of the fretwork, about 4 holes needed #2/0, #5 Polar for the outline. A lot of time but it looks good.

Looks good Witchita!

Well done, buddy.

[FrankEV]

Very nicely done.

Great cutting.  Russ Beard's patterns are awesome but oh so challenging. You did a great job cutting it.

 

[Joe W.]

That looks like the kind of pattern where a person could practice their "sailor language".
Well done!

Looks great.

You have done yourself proud.

Quik question. 

Looking at the photo I'm curious, did you paint the backer behind the fox Orange? 

I would have thought you would have used a red or gray?

Yes, I painted the backer orange, I even checked that the foxes eyes are commonly orange.

Picture from the National Park Service.  Looks orange to me.

Can't argue with your logic!
