Cat Silhouette Plaques

This is another recently finished project. I liked these because they reminded me of two Siamese cats we had when I was a kid. There were actually four profiles for this set, but I didn't like the fourth all that much, so I didn't make it. This is an open style of fret work, the plaques are cut from 3/4" clear pine with a no.#5 skip tooth blade. I applied an ogee for the edge treatment on the router table, and the plaques have several coats of clear polyurethane to preserve and emphasize the natural beauty of the grain. The black that you see showing through is black poster board glued to the back of each piece to make the features stand out better. This was a fairly easy and straight forward project and was completed in minimum time. If you'd like to have a closer look with more pictures.
