Good for you Steve.  Some time back I did a search of Chinese Opera Masks, because pictures I saw of some Paul Senko had done (I think in the gallery here or in the magazines gallery).  I always loved the look of the ones he did.  I down loaded some pictures but have not been brave enough yet to try one.  I notice that in the latest issue of Scroll Saw Woodworking there are pictures of his work and an article about him.  Got me all excited about doing them again. 

 

I can't wait to see you picture here finished.  It is just as detailed.  I have it in my files.

Paul, you are right ...Paul Senko posted this as a Chinese paper cutting some time back.....It was still listed under new patterns!

Once I got to 347 holes i stopped counting !..I figure i was about a third of the way !

Please go back and count number of holes Steve ... I need to know ... Lol. A challenging pattern for sure. Should look fantastic when completed.

I did a Darth Vader portrait exactly like that with this color stain. Look at my post in the Bragging Rights section to see how it looks.

I posted the finished project today under Bragging Rights.
