Dustin how thick of plywood did you use?  I tried to cut and mount a picture and it would not fit in the frame.  I ended up using glazing points to hold it in, it worked, but it bowed the back somel.  I was using 1/4 in. BB.

I use 1/4" BB for the portrait that is cut out then just some black cardstock behind it for the shadow. It fits in these little 3 dollar frames, but it is a tight fit. Thanks by the way.

I did that guy a couple years ago and opted to not do the border so I took the pattern and placed it so it was on a diamond shape piece of wood...1/4" oak and just put some felt on the back & used saw tooth hanger....

I never really wanted to grow up....All I wanted was to be able to reach the cookie jar...and play with my DW 788

Looks great, Dustin!

I find after these first years of trying about everything that I am gravitating to fretwork.  It looks awesome but it definitely takes the right frame of mind.  When I remind myself that I could always just clean the house instead, my patience for the fretwork magically returns.   :)

Nicely done.  Thanks for letting us take a look.

Amazing job.  I too have a indian project sitting on a shelve for the same exact reason as you had....a border with ALOT of cutting.  I should do it one of these days.  I'd be happy if it came out half as good as yours.
