Paint or no paint?

[jimmyG]

Found and printed out this image on Pinterest.  Even though the outline was a tad too thick to scroll I just went down the middle of the thick line, not too much fun.
Anyway...   Should I leave the Basswood base natural as it is now or just paint it black to match???

I like the contrast of the Basswood to the black. I’d leave it.

I agree!

Would you paint the little heart red?

Leave it.

Leave it natural, very nice cutting, RJ

Mighty fine cutting and no paint.

Well, I am no artist, but I agree with above, unpainted, lacquered and I would tape it off and paint both hearts red!   I warned you I am not an artist.  It looks great as is also.

I would not paint the base.

Fabulous piece of art, well done.  Leave the base unpainted.
