Western Partners... and some.

[Dak0ta52]

I've been working to finish these two western pieces for a sale this coming weekend. They were both double stack cut and while one of the attached photos shows it is finished natural, the other is finished with ipswich. They have their mates but I wanted to show the difference between the two. They are cut on Baltic Birch with Birch backers stained ebony. The frames are knotty pine cut to size. The pieces are coated with several coats of gloss polyacrylic and the frames are done with satin. The patterns are by Jim Blume. The portrait piece was an easy cut but the landscape piece was a ... well, I'll just say it was tough. There are several areas that are bridged with single small pieces that made the piece very fragile. Regardless, however challenging, they were a lot of fun to cut.

The door hanger is a Steve Good pattern and still has to be finished with polyacrylic. Wanted something a little easier to do after tackling the landscape Jim Blume piece.

Finally, our new addition to our family. (My wife's Christmas present.) The Papillon, Chocolate "Chip," give us a total of four dogs. We still have the two cats and about 75 goldfish. Anyway, I did the pattern for Chip's piece which was cut from Baltic Birch and stained Ipswich. I added brown accents because he is what is called a Tri-color Papillon. It has a black Birch backer and the frame is cut from pre-fab framing material to match the ones I have done of the other cuts of the clan.
