  • Do I need more frets?

    I got this pattern from CWC mag March 2010. It showed the wolfs on a end cut of wood standing with most of the wood cut from around them.
    The piece of wood I had was not wide enough to do this so I cut up the pattern to make it work.
    The question is do I (I think I do) need to "open" up the area around the wolfs to see them better? If so where would you all say I need to do this. Around the heads, back ect. I am quite new to this hobbie.
    I have allready diped it into BLO, walnut. Thanks for the help!

    I like it the way it is now, but you could play with it a bit with Gimp or Inkscape and perhaps come up with something like this. That is a beautiful piece of wood!

      I think I'd open up around the one on the right just a little but I'm glad you have to make that decision and not me. It is a great piece of wood and you did a great job a cutting it. Post again if you do anything else to it.

        Looks great to me! Sweet piece of wood! I say leave it alone and make your next piece!

          Beautiful piece either way. My preference would be to open it but not much. 1/4 - 5/15".
          You made me drool over that piece of wood.

            Just my opinion but, I would open it up on the back and face of each wolf.
            The original pattern calls for almost the entire left side of the wood to be
            removed.
