A rose
« on: May 08, 2013, 06:10:52 am »
I was asked to make a rose for someone, after a lot of sorting through various patterns I decided on this one by "Grampa", Thanks Grampa. I cut it from 3mm Birch ply and cut the backers from coloured card. there is no finish on it yet, it's just as it came off the saw. I just put it in the frame to see what it looked like. As usual all comments welcome.
Keith.

Very nice Keith, will have to try that one for this weekend it's Mothers day down here.
Did you have any problem with the two colors of paper where they intersect with each other.

Merlin, I cut the green one to fit where I wanted it to, them laid it on top of the red and marked the red one and cut it to fit. Once the finish has been applied to the rose I will attatch the backers with a spot or two of glue, but they will be held in place with the backer of the frame. (hope that makes sense lol)

Keith - can I ask what blade you used? I just got some Crown Tooth blades that I like but are slow cutting. They leave a very clean back side when cutting text. The shading in this rose is very nice and seems like it might cut like lettering.

Rob, no, I wasn't reading that. was there any reason I should have been?

EIEIO,  I use #1 Flying Dutchman  Ultra reverse blades for 99% of my work. Every third tooth is reversed so it gives a fantastically clean cut with almost no need for sanding after cutting as you can see in the picture, and very little wander in long straight cuts. Occasionally I'll use a #3 blade (same type) but a #1 is my favourite blade. hope that helps.
