wolf behind a tree
« on: September 20, 2013, 11:50:00 am »
I have just finished cutting this pattern by Charles Dearing of a wolf behind a tree. It is not sanded or finished yet. All opinions and comments welcomed.

Great job.  I'd be a little anxious about sanding it now...

He is fun to cut...I sent Charlie the original picture that he made this pattern from and have cut it twice.

Here's the one that hangs on my wall...http://stevedgood.com/community/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view&id=234

I knows whatever you do for a finish will be great.

Wonderful cutting & be damn careful sanding! (lol)

Awesome job of cutting the wolf. Must have been some anxious moments in a few of those areas.

If the wolf is behind the tree, why then it is that I am able to see the wonderful job of cutting his picture?

Very nicely done, and thanks for sharing this with us.

Well I got them finished, the sanding was easy as I kept the large offcut from around the edge of the wolf then inserted it back in place to sand it, that way the wolf was supported and made the sanding a lot easier. They are made from 4mm ply and finished in BLO/thinners, then two coats of lacquer. As always comments and opinions are always welcomed.

You made a lovely job of that, Keefie. You're braver than me to even tackle it. :)
