One for Wife's Brother
« on: March 09, 2011, 08:47:41 pm »
Finished cutting this yesterday. It's a Bday gift for my wife's brother who lives across the pond in Grampa's land!

1/8" Baltic birch ply w/lemon oil on 1/8" luan backer stained with Minwax Polyshades "Mission Oak".  Cut with FD-UR #1 blades.

Is that a good ol' Ozark Bigmouth?

Excellent job Mainewoods!! I am going to try the same type of portrait but with a Trout for a couple of buddies for opening day in April. I hope mine comes out at least 1/2 as good as yours. Your brother-in-law will love it i'm sure.

It looks great. I too like the look of the wooden backer, the contrast is really good.

Excellent Cutting ... makes me want to get the pole and net out once more.  I am sure it will be well received.
