Sue, they look great. How long did The Lord's Prayer plaque take you? That's an expert job on the lettering. I don't mind a little lettering, but I think that much might drive me bonkers.

Those are great Sue and the lettering is awesome. Are these your patterns? I would love to get a copy of the Lord's Prayer for my mother and mother-in-law. Steve

Sue, are these photos shown actual cuttings or the computer generated type? How large is the Lord's Prayer?

Take care

Toni,

(Sorry Mike - I missed your question

) These two are digital renderings - I have taken high resolution photographs of the wood types I use most for portraits, so I super-empose the black & white pattern on the wood photo in Photoshop, add some shadows, a mount and frame. If there are parts of the pattern that appear difficult to cut (like some of the letters in the Prayer), I first do some test cuts on scrap wood and make adjustments if needed, before releasing the pattern. I wish I could cut each and every pattern I make, but it is simply not possible. I do actually cut most of my wildlife patterns though.

The pattern is 14" high, but can be adjusted. I am considering making the Lord's Prayer for myself, and am planning on cutting the letters (stack cutting some) as 1/8" overlays and mounting it on a 30" high framed plaque.
