Here's the beginning of the JGR Oak Leaf Door Topper I'm making for my daughter and her fiance'. Decided Christmas was better than waiting for the wedding in April.

Thanks. I sure hope it comes out looking good. The woods are: White oak backboard, madrone for the frame. The bow is bloodwood. The leaves and acorns are various shades of western red cedar. The twigs are black walnut. The finish will be Old Masters satin wipe on poly.

They will love it! Who made the pattern for this? I googled JGR Oak Leaf Door Topper and all i found was this message board with the pattern.Last edited by Birchbark; 11-12-2011, 07:41 AM.Comment

I bought that pattern and the wood a couple of years ago. Still in the round-to-it pile. Really looking forward to see the final product.

Very Very nice. I saw that pattern a while ago but never decided on rather to do it or not. Looks like I might be after all. Thanks for sharing it with us.

You're welcome, DW.
Birchbark: go to Judy Gale Roberts Intarsia. That's Judy Gale's website. You'll find the pattern there.
