Cool The one that got away

Stack cut 4 of these using 1/8" BB with 2R blade. Tried a spiral for about 2 minutes and gave up on it. Has about 87 gates but took me nearly 3 hours to cut! And lots of fuzzies to clean up, too. Mounted in a store bought frame and used black felt for backing. Pattern by Honey.

Nice job Mike, how do you clean up your fuzzies, on the Owl Portrait by Ozarkhillbilly, he used a small butane torch to burn em', I went out and picked one up and it works like a charm, is this a common practice?
I always used to sand them.
