I got many positive feedbacks about my first ornament pattern, so I decided to make more, here is the next one
Painted MDF 3mm (about 1/8 inch), 4,5 x 7 inches, blades: NIQUA Top Cut #1
Pattern available at: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AlexFoxUA
My latest. I finished the cutting quite a while ago, and learned a lesson about cutting carefully because I had to do a ton of sanding to the many exposed interior cuts. After the sanding was done we had a heat wave here in Wisconsin with incredibly high humidity so it had to sit and wait to have a finish applied which I was finally able to do this weekend. The front is made out of Honey Locus, it has a nice color but it pretty hard and difficult to work with. the backer board it 1/2 in walnut which I cut 1/4 in larger in all directions and then rounded over. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I just have to let it cure for a few days and put some hooks on and its good to go. One question, should I leave the back as raw wood or put a coat of poly on that too?
