after several coats of gloss finish have been applied to them.

Lay the glued up project on the backer plywood and trace its outline. Tilt the saw table about 15° down toward the left and cut the backer approximately 1/8" inside the traced line (see Fig. 19).

Glue the backer to the project with carpenter's glue. Use a few C-clamps to ensure a good bond, placing scraps of the plywood under the clamps to protect the surface (see Fig. 20).

Finishing

I finished this project by applying several coats of Krylon matte finish to it, sanding lightly with 320-grit abrasive before the last coat (see Fig. 21). The eyes were finished with four coats of Delta gloss varnish, then glued in place. Attach a hanger and you're done!
