runs horizontally. Tilt the saw table 15 degrees to the left, then cut the backboard about 1/4" inside of the traced line in a clockwise direction, as indicated by the arrows in Fig. 3.

Staining

Since the face of the wood blank is end grain wood, the stain should be thinned 5 parts Natural to 1 part Puritan Pine. Otherwise, the plaque will be very dark. Brush an even coat of stain on the edges and on both sides of the inner and outer

sections to seal the wood (see Fig. 4). Allow to dry overnight.

Tip: the pheasants shown here were sprayed Flat Black. However, you may want to try using walnut stain on the silhouette to create contrasting color while maintaining the wood tones.

If you want to experiment with different shades, test the colors on the waste pieces which were cut around the pheasants.
