SO what have I been working on this week. THIS. A Self Framing Fretwork Cross. The main part of the cross is made of Maple. The Cross is made of Walnut. The backer board is 1/8 Baltic Birch Plywood stained light Walnut. I have posted several pictures this week in an attempt to show you what I see. The slow development of the different stages of something I cut. This is part of the fun of doing scrollwork. Finish this, finish that part and then finally put it together. Thanks for looking and this will be in my fall craft shows. Details later. This was made in Texas where it is about 100 degrees and my shop only has one air conditioner – A FAN.
This design is from Keith Fenton at Shelia Landry Designs. I just love his work but it is a bit challenging. This one came out straight forward with no real problems. I think that someday Keith will design a pattern that once you are finished cutting it all that is left is saw dust – LOL. I guess you could put all the saw dust in a jar and a picture beside it.
Thanks for looking.
