Is this the best way ?

• No, it is the way we do it.. That does not make
  it the best for you. Try several until you find
  what you are comfortable with.

3
We start by gluing the pattern to the board, we
use rubber cement
4
We choose the grain and color selection to cut
5
The piece we are working with is then cut out of
the pattern

7
The saw we use is the DeWalt with a 20 throat
8
After the piece is cut, the pattern is peeled off
9
The uncut part of the pattern is peeled and used
on the next piece
10
The pattern is then transferred to the next piece
of the project
11
Each piece is added to the project as cut
12
Cutting continues
13
Cutting continues
14
Project completely cut out
15
The glue residue is removed from the cut pieces
16
Project with the glue removed
17
Leaves are marked to lower them
18
The leaves are cut or sanded to achieve the
desired thickness
19
Leaf thickness has been reduced to add depth to
the project
20
First flower petal is being shaped by sloping
from outside edge
21
This shaping adds depth to the flower.
22
Second Petal is shaped, again sloping from
outside edge
23
The third piece is rounded to give outside curve
.
24
This piece is rounded from the Left and only
slightly on the right
25
Notice the third piece appears to tuck under the
piece to its right
26
The fourth piece is marked so it will stay above
the third piece
27
This piece cups outward on the bottom and inward
on the top
28
The outward curved bottom forms the base of the
rose
29
The inside curve on the top of the piece forms
the back petal
30
The fifth petal is shaped again from the outside
to the inside
31
Remember this petal is reversed from the first
petal
32
The sixth petal forms the back of the rose center
33
It is again formed from the outside sloping to
the inside
34
The seventh petal is formed the same way
35
The eighth petal follows suit
36
The ninth piece if formed the same way, but
because of size
37
A dremmel tool is used to form the slope
38
Ninth petal in place
39
The center of the rose is rounded over to fit the
petals around it
40
The bottom petal is marked to fit against the
previous pieces
41
It is then shaped to slope outwards from the
center
42
It shapes with a short round over on the bottom
side to show a fall
43
A flap sander is used for final sanding and to
soften edges
44
Each piece is finish sanded
45
Special care is used to soften the edges
46
The flap sander works well to follow the contour
of the petals
47
The finish sanding on the flower is completed
48
A light pencil mark is made as a guide for wood
burning the veins
49
The veins are wood burned to give more movement
to the leaf
50
The rose is ready to glue
51
The outline of the project is marked on the
backing board
52
It is then cut out
53
On the roses, we do not edge glue, we glue only
the backing
54
A coat of glue shown on the backing
55
The flower is placed onto the backing
56
Care is taken to make sure each piece is down
firm on the backing
57
After the glue is dry, the backing is trimmed and
beveled
58
We use Bartley Gel Varnish to finish our products
59
We find the paper rags are best for us they are
cheap and lint free
60
We apply the varnish with a brush starting on the
edge
61
The varnish is worked down into the rose to get
complete coverage
62
We then wipe the gel off of the surface
63
Low air pressure melts the varnish that collects
in cracks
64
The rose is complete
