Cottage Clock-Cutting the Crest Outline

....continuing around the outside... 

Another wide relief cut, and now we're halfway across the bottom.  The end is getting closer.

I was starting to get a little careless as the end approached.  You can see here where I've drifted away from the line.  You can go back and trim back to the line, but most of the time it is not noticeable once the pattern is removed.  I've found that trying to trim long sweeping curves usually results in bump in the curve that is sticks out worse than the original mistake.
One last relief cut, one final cut and it's done!

The cutting is done, but there's still work to do on the next page.
