October is clergy appreciation month. I had a couple requests for a pattern that could be given as gifts to their pastors and pastors family. I hope this portrait of Jesus will satisfy those requests.
The portrait is 5x7 and should be cut from 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood. There are some intricate cuts in the portrait. If you are comfortable with a spiral cut blade use one. If like me you don't like spiral blades then use a #2.
The frame can be cut from any contrasting hardwood you have handy. If you don't have the tools to cut a 1/4" dado for the portrait to sit in then use 1/4" material for the frame and simply glue the frame over the portrait.
If you don't have a way to cut miters in the frame you could glue up a panel and apply the frame patterns on the panel and cut it as one piece. There is always a way to get around a lack of tools. Just figure out a way to do with what you have.
Another option if you don't like the frame pattern or just don't want to cut it out then just buy a frame that holds 5x7 art work and you are good to go.
As you can tell from the simulated picture of the pattern, I have not cut this project yet. I'll probably test it out this weekend. If you wany to give it a try before I test it please send me an email and let me know if all went well.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
