This was a pattern by my good friend Gloria Bryan (her patterns can be found in The Wooden Teddy Bear with the prefix KC). The wood was a gift from another buddy, Barry (bearfretworks) and I believe it's Sapelle (African Mahogany). I just winged it for the outside at about a 35° angle freehand.

you did that sapele proud! Very nice Jedi, very nice!
What did you use, if anything, for a backer?
Just remembered that sapele was prettyy wide. what are the dimensions?"Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They're easier to ignore before you see their faces. It's easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."

I do like that, Kevin
.
The sapele has a very interesting grain. Have you thought of incorporating a piece into a project which features the American flag?

Thanks Gill and Barry. Believe it or not Gill, the flag idea did cross my mind with the grain pattern in this piece.
I just used a piece of black felt for the background Barry. It measures about 9ish" X 13ish" (how's that for precise measurements, hehehe). I have plans for the other little oddities you sent me as well, stay tuned!Kevin

Bill,Originally posted by ozarkhillbilly
This was a very easy piece of wood to scroll. It was about 1/2" thick and I used a #3 FD-SR blade. I only used one blade on the entire cutting which took me about an hour and a half of cutting time (about 100 cuts total). It cuts like butter. It's comparable to regular mahogany (sometimes referred to as "genuine mahogany").Kevin

Kevin,
AWESOME Eagle! As always, Great cutting! Great subject matter, as you couldn't tell. I like the border just freestyled. Keep up the great work!
