Portrait cutting of Albert Einstein.Pattern by Steve Good. 1/8" Baltic Birch, Backer board is 1/8" red oak plywood stained red mahogany. Frame is 1/2" red Alder. I assembled it all together then soaked it in boiled linseed oil -mineral spirits mix. Then top coat with deft semi gloss spray lacquer.

That looks absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Great portrait Dan. What size did you make it? I presume 8x10, but maybe not. I like the red alder with the BLO finish.

A great job dg I have been looking at that pattern and now I may do it

It's a great picture. I love your choices in wood and the framing sets off the beautiful cutting. Great job!

Very nice dgman!

Thanks all! I don't like using black for the backer board, So I always use a wood backer board. The size is 8-1/2" x 11". I used alder for the frame because thats what I had laying around. I used mostly flat blades, Olson 2/0R, FD UR1, and I used FD NS 2/0 spiral blades where flat blades wouldn't work.
-
That came out really great! You make it look easy. :)

I wonder what it would look like if we used other stuff for the backer board. Like say that flooring that looks like rock or something. I dunno... just thinking out loud. ::)

Nice work dgman, nice materials to.
.....when do you make Zwei-stein? ("ein stein" is german for "one stone") :D

Its good to think outside the box. You never know till you try it! :D

"thinking out loud" can get you into allot of trouble, or is that talking in your sleep. LOL ::)
-
"thinking out loud" at least impleid that your thinking, talking in your sleep doesn't.... 8)

This is my version of Albert. I used quarter inch Oak and stacked cut 3 layers. All came out real good. Made many frames from Pine.... :+}

Both are very well done. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes seeing a pattern finished prompts some of us to go ahead and cut it then. I know it does me.
