I finished cutting out my 1st scroll saw project this afternoon.
It is a USCG Veteran logo. Not sure if it should be stained, painted, or ?. :-\
Suggestions please!
-
Fine looking project.
I would probably cut a backer out of a darker wood (or wood stained darker than the Baltic birch) and
leave the original cutting as is. You could glue it to a square piece as shown in your original post of
cut the backer round. If cut round, I would probably make the circle about 1/4" to 1.2" larger than the
over-lay.
Of course, this is just MY suggestion. Different people have different tastes.
You did a fine job. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

that is a very good cutting, paint versus a clear finish is , well I like the to see the characters in wood.

My two cents are to offer - with baltic birch vs a piece of hardwood I will often paint vs stain. Further you should consider a slightly larger larger backer board as previously suggested. Perhaps using Coast Guard scheme colors. thanks for sharing
