Angel

Cut this Angel the other evening. Cut from 3/4" spalted maple (Very Hard!!) I have it in a pine frame I made up in the pic, but I havent decided as of yet how I am going to finish it - Paint it. The pattern came from the Scrollsaw Portriats Book.

Thou shall not paint wood.

+1 to what oily said. Yes some wood needs painting but not pretty wood like you have there.

[AirNationalGuardMom]

I agree, please don't paint it. You did a great job.

I think y'all just helped me make up my mind on the finish lol

+1 for not painting. Nice job on the cutting. A couple coats of poly or something along those lines would show off the wood.

Paint is for house walls and children toys, not excuisite art like your. Good job.

Beautiful just the way it is.

I like it just the way it is, I only paint toys and some ornaments I make.
