Pattern separation is an ongoing problem, I find the need to ensure wood is clean of any dust before applying pattern, I often use blue painters tape, good quality packers tape or a cheap shelf liner I buy from walmart at 8 bucks a roll here in Canada I Apply it first to help prevent burning, I found a good spray glue, brand 777 something works best for me spray, the pattern, let it sit for a moment before applying. enevitably lift does occur, then a strip scotch tape helps to hold it down.
My wife and I toured through Yukon and into Haines Alaska (stayed a week) a few years ago, We took a picture of the harbour which now hangs above our fireplace. Haines has a homey atmosphere and I could associate with the residents, perhaps you and I chatted., the mass touristy crowd in skagway annoyed the snot out of me. Hope to visit again some time.
