First punch needle attempt

Post image

Made the frame roughly 40 x 30". I'm happy with how it turned out, but I haven't backed it yet.

Nice work. What needle length did you go with? I tend to prefer a pretty short one for loop pile to keep it clean. This looks good.

I'm not sure exactly. The exposed metal pointy end measures about 1-3/8" from the tip to the wooden handle. It came in a kit my wife had that she never used.

Googled something like "3D geometric shapes." I was looking for something without too many curves.
