Default Made this several years ago.

This was one of my first "intricate" pieces...The rope had a pucker factor of 11 on a scale of 1-10.
I happened to see it on the headboard in our guest room..I forgot we still had it. I think I cut this about 5 years ago.

It is backed with some green felt and I made the frame (not very well) out of a piece of old barn wood I had laying around.

Let me know what ya think...Thanks for looking.

Hi, Mike!

I think that cutting looks great! I love the theme.

You mentioned that you envisioned it on a headboard. What is the approximate size of that work?

Edit: Oh, is was hanging on your headboard. Gotta get them glasses, LOL!

Shawn,
the cutting is 7" long x 2 1/2" tall at the peak of the rope.
The frame is 10x5 1/2".

I just measured it for you, it is actually sitting on the head board in our guest room.

I enlarged the pic and actually had a shudder and goose bumps on my arms thinking of having to cut that rope! Definetly an 11 Mike.
