Couple new cuttings

[cedarguy]

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.

Very Nice!!

Well done. The Indian one, the frame is a little overbearing, but a nice job overall.

Nice detail cutting.

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

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.

Like the indian and the frame's. I feel the bear is to close to it's frame.

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.
