Quick Tip: Negative Plywood Pattern
Apr 03, 2012
I used to use plywood scraps to make patterns for my projects. But I couldn’t see the grain through the plywood when I was ready to trace the pattern. To solve this problem, I now make a negative pattern by cutting out the pattern shape inside a plywood frame. This allows me to place the pattern on the work, move it until I’m happy with the grain, then trace the outline.
