| | It isn't often.. I get a job where i can post  .
This is a frame for a grad picture, Susan's pattern slightly modified to hold a frame inside. The frame is for a 3x5 picture, and I get to carve the leaves .
The first pic is a practice piece, been a while since I did any leaf carving so since I messed up the first piece when I was cutting it out I used it to my advantage.
The frame is cherry , pattern layout by laser , cutout with a scroll saw, ( too thick for the laser how I got my practice piece ) and will be finished with the leaves being carved in.

| | Re: It isn't often.. That looks very nice with or without a photo. I like the pattern you used, and with cherry as the wood, it must look sharp in real life.

| | Re: It isn't often.. Well best laid plans of mice and men.
I had finished the frame, and was asking what finish , I placed the frame on my desk,..... my phone rang my brother reach over to answer the phone ...
I heard OH !!!>> deleated by censors <<< !!!
The frame was in pieces .....
I couldn't tell the woman so .... time to carve another , and get the finish done in a hurry... so ...
Anyway , the piece was finished in 24 K gold leaf and she seem to really like it.
So yeasterday I had a few mins , so I glued the first one back together , and gold painted it . This one is not the 24 K gold as it will be added to the showroom and not for sale but I thought you might like to see it.
