This cut is from the pattern of the day. I used 1/8" Baltic Birch plywood, stained the top layer and sprayed it with clear varnish... Any suggestions on how to hang it?

It came out great!  Since it is so thin, you can't really put screws or nails in your hanger.  I would use either an appoxy or gorilla glue to put a d-ring hanger on the back.

I use the saw tooth hangers and just glue on with 5 minute epoxy. Works great since the pictures don't weigh that much.

I agree with JulieF I have done some thin ones in my time and that is the way I hung them.  The Glue holds very well and still is (as far as I know)

Bruce, That is a very nice cutting! If you do not have a D ring, break off a tab from a Coke can and epoxy it to the back!

That turned our very nice!!! I am always impressed when the backer has the same oval size, just slightly larger, as the piece. Good job, and thanks for shairing.

Great cut I really like this. The make sticky back loops that you can get and just peel and press to the back of it.
