cut a couple projects the other night, one an indian from our own Messman cut on 1/4 oak and stained dark with a stained pine frame. The other a grizzly bear by sue walker that I put in a barn style frame I made up.

Nicely done on both
Im with Mike, the Indian gets a little lost with the dark staining and the dark backer. But maybe it comes out better seeing it in person

Only Robinson Crusoe could get everything done by Friday!
Nice job cedarguy,
like the style of frame you used,did you make those also,what did you use too plane the bevel,if you did/.
Thanks for the comments. I did make the frames, the one on the bear is made from plywood strips and it is beveled. I used an old hand plane my grandpa gave me some years back to plane the edges.

I some how totally missed this posting. Thanks for posting it. My indian pattarn came out so much better than I pictured it in my head. Thank you for cutting it. That bear is fantastic as well.

Cedarguy, I think you did a nice job on the cuttings but I believe I would have used a narrower material for the frame. When framing my work I want the focal point to be the cutting not the frame. Just a thought, for showing us your work.
I love the Indian. But like the others think, maybe you could do something diff with the frame? The matt does help alot, tho, to separate the two.
But I do love it...I wouldn't hesitate to hang it on my wall as is. It is gorgeous.
Quarter inch BB with Red Gum (Australian Eucalyptus) veneer. My first attempt at veneering and there are a couple spots where there was not quit enough glue so small pieces of the veneer came off....
In preparation for a scrolling demonstration I decided to make up a piece that would show the different ways I've cut puzzles. It's 2 layers of 1/8" BB. The puzzles were cut out as tray puzzles and then glued back in so pieces wouldn't get lost as it was handled.

Update at 13 April – Its been almost a month since my last post and my shop extension is progressing albeit slowly largely due to me nibbling at it on a regular basis rather than sticking with it and going full blast to get it finished.
The outside of the extension is almost finished apart...
Quartz I only bought the air filter, That same model is sold by many distributors, I see Grizzly has it and several others. I was going to build one but this thing works great. I will get a charcoal filter for it also. Great when doing Pyrography. They also had a Pfingst brand flex shaft tool I haven't...
