Nothing stained, finished or even sanded. The stand is plain pine board and will be stained English chestnut. No color changes planned for the ceder portrait or backer that is also ceder, both planed to about 5/16 (8MM). Edges will be left a little rough. All will be coated with 2-3 shellac and several coats of clear something. I like the coated in glass look.

That is very nice. The stand is awesome. Do another in a darker wood and a great finish and submit it with the plans to our mag. You may get published....Very nice indeed!"Still Montana Mike"

A plan Mike that's funny. The main part was a piece of clip art I had seen some place and couldn't find again so I taped the wood and pencil drew it on the piece. The rest was just a little straight edge and bevel gauge work in the cut offs.
These are the start of my sons plaque in the other thread.May the wind at you back .....

Ditto for the stand Oily.........it's a great idea, and I would love to see ya published.
The portrait of Christ came out awesome also, what nice treasures for your children.Gloria ............... Two memorable things to say in life, "Hello" for the first time, and "Good-bye" for the last.

got the portrait finished and just a little sanding and a couple of coats of clear acrylic on the stand.
I burned it with a torch to darken and bring out the grain. I was very pleased with the result. It looks 100 years old.May the wind at you back .....

Nice work Oily, the wood dye and finish make it a very powerful image, the backstand also adds to the whole piece.

Reply to A Bear In The Woodsby garryatpaWow!!!! That is beautiful. Super job of sawing. If I worked it out correctly it took you less than a minute for each opening especially when I look at the amount of time it would take to saw the outline of the bear. Garry
