Title: Compound pattern
Post by: Paw Paw Ray on December 24, 2012, 08:11:39 am

I saw a while back some 3D compound name ornaments that could be read from both sides (front and back) I know how to do 3D but the back is backwards and the ones I'm talking about the back reads the same as the front.  Does anyone know where I can find the instruction for this type of cut?

The only suggestion that I have is to cut the name (wording) twice, out of two pieces of wood and then glue them together back to back. Unless the word you want is "MOM" or something similar.  ;D  ;)

Hi Paw Paw Ray:
Is it possible that you are talking about ambigrams
This is where the word is the same when you flip it around/over
Google the word ambigram and you will see what I mean
I'm very interested in what you saw but I have yet to see a pattern/ornament
like you describe
I'll keep looking
