ugsduck Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 The 2nd in the series from Shadylady0447 and a little more difficult for me. Enjoyed it very much. It is on a piece of tatty MDF. I thought that the mottled staining on the material lent itself to the mood of a ship in heavy waters. Thank you Sue Cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 You did a great job on it! Love how you painted the MDF. Almost looks like birdseye maple. Nicely done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt paint it It was slightly off colour to start with so I mucked around with a sponge and a lightly coloured varnish... great Fun!

ugsduck Posted August 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Nice job Keith....Thats on my to do list If I do it again then I will use spirals for some of the cuts - some were too close for comfort for me and I nearly messed up a couple of times. Good Fun! though Cheers Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugsduck Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Very nice cutting Keith, I have never tried MDF for portraits did the thin bridges hold together ok !.......Paul They held but .. in 2 places the layers seperated a little and I had to position and glue them. Also the edges of the boards damage easily and the blades blunt very quickly. I dont think I would use MDF again for close cutting work - it was just a stop gap whilst waiting for a wood delivery.
