Pattern by Gary Browning in the Summer issue of SCROLLSAW WOODWORKING & CRAFTS. I stack cut three layers of 1/8" Baltic birch plywood. I didn't have material to build frames. I have a lot of aromatic ceder strips used for lining closets. So I decided to do something with that. This is what I came up with. It gives it a rustic look I think.
Tell me what you think!

Very Very Nice Dan. I like the way you did that. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Neat, Dan...looks great.
RE: the strips...did you just lay them on the front or did you actually make a frame?

Dan this one came out great I love the look.. I must ask why you stack cut 3. I'll probably feel a fool for asking ;D ... Its gorgeous.. Sheila

Very nice Dan. I like the way you added the T & G cedar. I have quite a bit of that as well from taking apart a chest a few years back. Now I can try that as well.

I think it looks great Dan, I'm partial to Eagles and Wolves.

I don't know about Dan, Sheila but I always stack cut portraits like this one.
One for me and a couple to donate to the myriad of organizations that are always looking for donations for carnivals, attendance prizes, raffles, silent auctions. etc.
AND with spiral Blades it is almost a necessity! Sometimes the bottom one gets placed in the designer firewood basket!

Spiral Blades = High Speed and SLOOOOOW Feed! (and stack 'em baby!)

GB, As Karl mentioned, the ceder strips are tongue and grooved. I glued together three strips, and added two 1 1/4" ceder cleats on the back for strength. The portrait is then glued to the top. I guess you can call the ceder a backing board.
Sheila, The advantage to stack cutting is you have more than one project and it gives better support when cutting. I never like to cut anything thinner than 1/4". So if I needed one piece that was 1/8", I would laminate it to a piece of cheap plywood, and throw away the plywood when done. But since I am doing two shows this year, I am building stock in stack cutting.

great cutting Dan, love the cedar--stack cutting is the only way to go--besides support, there is all these copies for your work to sell--thanks for sharing with us --Richard aka thumbs ;D ;D
-
;D Told you I'd feel a fool for asking.. Thank you Dan and GB.. When I stack cut it for multiples of the piece... Sheila

Sheila, There is no such thing as a foolish question, Just foolish people for not asking! That is what we are here for!
-
Awesome job, I like it. Thanks for posting. :)
-
Here is the back. I glued on two cleats for strength. Also, to hang the portrait I routed a keyhole on the router table.
-
WOW ... what a great project .... love the eagle and the cedar just brings it all together.
-
I'll have to get me some of that cedar stuff!
Notice the "Gallo Brand"!
Nice touch D. G. !

That is just great looking. Love the contrast on the wood.

Very well done, Dan. I like the rustic look your frame gives to the whole project.

Big fan of eagles and I really like what you did with this one. The framing technique looks great and the contrasting colours go well together.
