Cathy the pattern came from a Patrick Spielman pattern book.Originally posted by Cutting Cathy View Post
I found a link to it on amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Fretwo...8922610&sr=8-1
The pattern you want is on page 63 of that book.

DW, that turned out goregous! Did you stack cut it, or do all four individually? Is that a wooden dowel or brass fitting? As said, your presentation is lovely. I am hoping one day to get that good at my fret cutting..I still have the stop and go lines. I guess with time and patience...and I seem short on both these days - lol!~ Kim

I did stack cut them and I used a 1/4 dowel to pin them together. The stand behind it is just one of the many plate stands this particular one came out of one of the books of plate patterns. The whole process was not particularly difficult only time consuming. It is one of the reasons I dislike doing fretwork. Have to start and stop too many times

Thanx DW for the details...you know me...curious george...or is that georgette - lol!?! I hear ya on the stopping and going...it's funny how I can spend hours and hours sanding/carving details, but hate the stop and go of fretwork. I commend anyone with the patience and skills! Thanx again for the info!~ Kim

Love it DW...!!!!
The cedar was definitely the right choice...!!
As far as stopping and starting, it's just a matter of Zen. Prep your mind for the task, and simply be there...
