Popular Post Clayton717 Posted May 26, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Just finished another project for our county fair. This one is called Founding Fathers. The pattern is by Charles Dearing. It measures 16" x 24" (without frame) and is cut in 1/8" Baltic Birch ply. I cut using new Flying Dutchman spirals # 2/0 and # 1. I normally don't use spirals but with the size of this I didn't have much choice. I made the frame from pine and burnt it. Update - this placed first in the fair for major scroll work lawson56, Smudger, GrampaJim and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredfret Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 The Pattern was made by Jeff Ziffino. Charles is a very talented designer also. Just trying to give credit where due. Fredfret Wichita, ks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredfret Wichita, ks No this pattern was made by and purchased from Charles Dearing. there is another pattern similar that is a little more detailed I saw on the internet that could be Jeff's.

Scrappile Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Very well done, Clayton. I have that pattern and plan on doing it someday. I hope I can do as well. I also got my pattern from Charles Dearing. Clayton717 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penquin Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Great work on this one. Looks super, good luck with it. I did the one by Jeff for our local fair and took a first with it a couple of years ago. Want to do the one by Charlie also, he has a different mix of Native American Indian chiefs in his pattern. It is a hard one to do but you do feel great when you are done with it. Again good luck and great looking work. jim penquin Clayton717 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you be selling this, or, is it cut for yourself? Len Thanks. I stack cut 2 of them so I planned on selling one after the fair and keeping one for myself.
