Very nice GB! Is that before or after BLO?

That is the #2 piece of the stack! 1/8"BB with Golden Oak stain and Gloss Spray Lacquer.

The top one is still drying after the BLO and will be lighter With a dark gray backer and Gray Hammered finish (metallic looking) frame. This one is 1/4"BB.

The bottom one is 1/8"BB and I am thinking about BLO and a dark 'blood red' backer in a black frame or possible copper color frame.

I'm going to take two and see if the 1/8" sells and then determine if I want to give up my hours and sell the 1/4"!

Thanks for the nice comments! It IS appreciated!!!

I have cut that one several times and it always does well.  I would like the see the pics of the different colored backers.  I have no imagination and always use black.  If I frame it, it is always in barn wood.  I would love to see it done differently.

Nicely done!  How much are you able to get for your portrait style cuttings in your area?

Don't know, Dunk!
First time out to a show of any kind and this is a 'church' craft fair...
Testing the water, so to speak.

The biggest show in the area gets $300 for a three day booth and you are locked in for the three days so  I will never do that one.

I will post results next week when it is all over.

nice job on the cutting.  i made the same one but used a piece of cherry ply
and stained it dark cherry and it really came out nice.  i had a guy try to buy
it but like a dummy i turned him down.

keep  up the good work
