I realize that a lot of you do stack cutting for craft shows I am not interested in that. I make a lot of Religious Crosses/Angels as individual gifts to the elderly. A lot of patterns call for a separate Backer Board. i.e. http://www.stevedgood.com/jesusstar.pdf I do it differently. Make all the interior cuts first. Next, glue it to the backer AND THAN CUT THE PERIMETER. I think this looks more professional.

Yep, I do it that way, too.

Thanks for the tip but, I believe beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
My personal opinion is that the pattern you showed looks much
better with the contrasting backer showing a consistant, contrasting
wood behind it as opposed to the backer being the same size as the
fretworked over-lay.

Hi Spirithorse,
I agree with you 100%. I chose poorly for an example to show. MY BAD!! I have not personally done that pattern.
For pictures of what I was talking about, click on "Gallery." On pages 1 & 2, look at LAMB OF GOD & CROWN OF THORNS, posted by jerry1939.
These types of patterns are what I meant.
