My first portrait
« on: April 27, 2011, 03:29:11 pm »
Thanks to all the help from you guys and gals, I finished my first portrait, pattern from Wooden Teddy Bear. I stack cut 3 1/8"BB and cut with a FD #1rev. (wasn;t brave enough to try the spiral yet). Finished with LSO and spray gloss, and luan backer stained some type of dark oak. Frames from Michaels for 3.99 on-sale (Thanks Mrsn). Will be giving these as gifts at our annual fishing trip for opening day of trout season in the Easern Sierra's this weekend. ;D

That was a hefty project for a first time portrait and you did a great job with it!

If you can do that with flat blades you sure don't need spirals!
But they do make it a bit easier and you don' wear out your saw table swinging the wood around!
