3/4 ash, FD #3 Polar Blades throughout. Red food dye on the Rose, rattle can poly after staining. I'm having issues with the finish, the wood soaked up the poly fast. The picture is with 4 coats of poly and there were areas where I couldn't get enough spay on to get a good surface coat. Finishing fretwork has some unique problems, anyone care to chime in?

Stack cut a total of 8 each, 1/2" birch ply (2 at a time) & 1/4" (4 at a time). They need cleaned up a bit & then we'll add a splash of color, then a coat of spray poly later. Patterns are Patrick Spielman & Travis from Scrollsaw Village.

Got er done. dresser mirror, I modified the pattern to use two overlays and a photo can be added, so that one side is a mirror and the other a photo frame.

Finally finished cutting. Used a low nap roller to apply gorilla glue after cutting the inside cuts, let the piece cure for 24 hrs, then cut the outside. Less than perfect glue up, but good enough to test the finish in the weather.

So how do y'all attach a backing to a fretwork piece? Specifically, how do you apply the adhesive so that it dosen't get on the finished sides? Additionally I would like to use a waterproof glue (Welcome sign for the front door), polyurethane comes to mind but it seems to be pretty messy and ugly if too much is applied. Thoughts?

Finally got it done. Mod to the design; pegged the tabs with toothpicks cut to size, added a bottom with tabs (also pinned). No glue used.:
