This is what you have to look forward to....

one photo is of the pattern "Big Cats" by Grampa and the other is the back side after 160 cuts...

C'mon and try the magic of portraiture with SPIRAL blades...FD New Spiral #2/0

Very nice Santa GB! I agree with you, Portraits are a lot of fun and rewarding! The most inside cuts I have done so far is 450.
How many layers do you have in that stack?

Yeah I figured it was the Woodcraft plywood! I still have a stack of it! Looking forward to seeing the completed project.

I'm going to make a frame (my first attempt) for the present and for the other one I will add it to my "Animals on Black Felt" collection.  Will have to see how my homemade frame comes out to decide if I will make one for mine.

(that was about 12 years ago when I was into a bit of 'acting' and played Father Christmas for a house tour.)
