Tiger WIP

[Vector01]

Just when I thought I was out, they drag me back in My brother-in-law came over the house and asked me to do a set of tigers for him. I hated to refuse...So here we go again. I really wanted to do some scrollwork. Since there's no rush for these, I think I'll do both. I guess I can walk and chew gum at the same time

Wow great work.....I have never tried out woodburning yet. Not sure I am that artistic

[Travis]

Boy, that's going to turn out really cool. I've been keeping my eye on burning tools. Someday I'll buy one and try my hand at it. Nicely done!

Absolutely beautiful Vector. Tigers are one of my favorite things to burn. What are they on though......bookmarks? Keychain Fobs? Whatever, they are going to be gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing them with us.

Those are fantastic and I am sure they will be loved for many years to come.

Very, very nice work, Vector. Your brother-in-law is one lucky guy!

Wow...that looks amazing. I can't wait to see the other ones. Nicely done!

[Firedkm]

Holy s**t that is awesome! How long did it take you to finish the tiger?

[Vector01]

Thanks!

 

Took about three weeks (on and off). It's easier for me to do a scroll cut than a burn. Holding the pen (nib) for extended periods cramps up my hand. The scroll cuts take much less pressure to manipulate the wood so I can work longer. I'll have the second one done before the holidays. He is thinking I'll be charging him for the pieces. It will be his Xmas gift this year

WOW! Beautiful work. I tried woodburning once and hated it, couldn't get the knack. Hey, if you like scrolling more, try scrolling that pattern. That would be awesome, too.

[Marshall]

This has got to be a different art for sure , but it appears that your real good at it , maybe one day I'll try my hand at this pretty art . And thanks for sharing your talent ..............Marshall

This would make a person want to start trying this wood burning , it sure adds a lot to the project.......

Hi All:

 

Thanks for all the great comments. Speaking of trying it out, it's not any harder to learn than scrollen. You can pick up a Walnut Hollow woodburning set for around $25.00 dollars. That way if you don't like it there's no big investment. When I first started I had quite few pieces that ended up as kindling.

 

Happy Thanksgiving
