INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. Photocopy the pattern and apply a thin coat of spray adhesive to the back side of the pattern. Allow adhesive to achieve a tacky feel, much like that of masking tape, and apply the pattern to the wood.

Step 4. To niake the backer board, trace the outside shape of your cutout using a 1/4" washer (the distance between the outer edge of the washer and the beginning of the middle of..the washer). Simply put your pen in the middle of the washer arid move the washer around the cutout. This will ensure an even distance all around the backer board iri conjunction with the cutout leaving a pleasing, extended backer board that will add beauty to your completed project. Sand all wood. Step 5. Finish your project with satin spray polyurethane. This will ensure coverage in the fretwork holes. Apply evenly and in short strokes. For the best results, we applied three coats anc sanded lightly in between coats. The polyurethane dries quickly and the whole process should go very quickly, For this project, we left the cherry wood natural. We suggest using a dark color spray paint for the backer board in order to contrast the wood of the cutout. Spray both sides and the edges of the plywood and then allow to dry..

Step 2. Drill and cut out all fret holes first while cutting all internal veining lines as you come to them. After the inside of the pattern is complete, cut the outside pattern lines to complete the cutting of the pattern.

Slep 6. Assemble the cutout and the backer board by applying white glue sparingly to the back side of the cutout. Place the cutout on the backer so that the backer protrudes the same distance all the way around. Put a soft cloth over the cutout so the surface doesn't get marred and place Weight on top of it until dry. Add a hang&r to the bdck and display with pride.
