Title: Bear Cross
Post by: Pat W. on July 23, 2014, 02:07:08 pm

Bear Crosses each is 11"x7 1/4"

Please commenting on which cross you like best. Bear Cross #1 - light over dark or Bear Cross #2 - dark over light.

This is a Sue Mey pattern. I stack cut the bear cross out of 1/8 Baltic birch with a 1/4 backer board. I decided to posted the above on my Face Book page - Scrollin Sawdust as a way to get my friends and their friends to look at my woodwork.  I have been getting a lot of comments and even some inquires about purchasing an item.

So. . .   please take a moment and comment which do you like #1 or #2.  :-)  If you have a moment go on over to my FB page - www.facebook.com/scrollinsawdust

Thanks
Pat

They both look great but I would say #1 by a whisker.

My First feelings were Wow they sure look Good.  From looking n looking I see that your talent in scrolling is GREAT.  Look at the Straight lines into a Point.  All look Precise.  The Lighter Cross is my Favorite.  I am a Cross Person.  Danny  :+}

Nice cuttin'. Like both, BUT,  I'm going with #2, I like the dark over the light. I know I'm out voted.

A Big "THANKS" to everyone who commented on the Bear Cross concerning their "Like" of #1 light over dark or #2 dark over light.  I had ask for comment from my FB page and from the forums.  All of your comments about my work is greatly appreciated.  :-)

The #1 Light over Dark was the choice of 73% of the comments. #2 dark over light had 16% of the comments and 5% chose both #1 & #2.

Very nice Pat! I sell a lot of these at craft shows and the light over dark sells better. In fact, just about all my crosses that require a backer are light over dark.
