An Eagle and a Duck !
« on: August 03, 2012, 02:58:44 am »
Here is an Eagle that i cut a little while ago but i have just had it mounted on a solid wood backing i had made for it by the local furniture makers , The backing is 3/4 " thick and measures 40" x 28" . I really like the dark wood ! All comments welcome !

And here is a Duck with a little bit of humour , The pattern was by Paul aka Grampa ! i just changed the wording.

Great cuttings Pete!  That eagle looks like it would be fun to cut.  Thanks for sharing them with us.

Great looking projects Pete, that eagle is fantastic, I bet you were too frightened to breathe let alone cough while cutting parts of that eagle!!!
great work Pete. Is that eagle one of Charlie's patterns? I seem to remember it there somewhere.

Beautiful work Pete! Love the eagle. What kind of wood did you use for the backer board on the eagle?

FANTASTIC job on the Eagle! That had to have some real 'breath holding' moments! Backer really sets it off...

And I really like your "Duck!"!
