Charlie's Fish

[PuzzledMoose]

Spent the afternoon trying to get myself closer to "trained termite" standard ...

Great pattern, Charlie, and it was fun to cut if a little nerve-racking in a couple of places. A slightly warped bit of ply didn't help!

5/32 in Baltic Birch - cut with #1 FD-SR blades - only 2 for all of it!

There's just under 200 cuts if my counting is right ....

Very "clean" and nicely done Ian! I like how you placed the pattern as well.

[workin for wood]

It looks great Ian. Are you going to frame it?

[Greenfield_Bob]

Ian you did a great job cutting that out.
Do you sell the things that you make?

Thanks for the compliments folks.

Jeff, yes I'm going to frame it at some point ...

Bob - no I'm not selling stuff at the moment, but hoping to later in the year.

Robert, not sure how long it took - lots of breaks to stop me going crosseyed ..lol I would guess around 4 - 41/2 hours total ..

Sharon - glad you like the duck ....

[Mackem]

Thanks Daryl. I think you're right what you said in another post - we must have similar tastes in patterns ...lol
