Old Joe Posted February 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 The first shot is just the wood. It is 1” thick Red Oak done with a relief cut around the perimeter. Today I cut a piece of stained glass and mounted it in back with the cartoon recessed in the relief area. I haven’t set everything permanent yet. Looking for critique from you all.

ChelCass Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I do both stained glass and scrolling and have combined them. They look really good together. fisch2481 and Old Joe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I like it with and without. I love the pattern,,, come cough it up, where did that pattern come from..... Your glass is great, in my opinion. I would also like it with a frosty blueish glass behind it.... to make it look cold. Maybe that has to do with the Game of Thrones and the guy in the tree north of the wall.... Great piece! fisch2481 and Old Joe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomanydogs Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Cool pattern great cutting. I like the glass behind it. It would look very cool with light or sun light behind it. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that has to do with the Game of Thrones and the guy in the tree north of the wall.... Great piece! The pattern was purchased from Fiona Kingdon. Her forte is not pattern making as she doesn’t use patterns, nor does she draw them. She has 5 available on her site, but they are not like patterns that I have ever used before. I believe she adapts them from her completed work by photocopying the work itself. You must be careful as sometimes you can get left hanging with little or no bridging if you don’t plan your cuts carefully. I made changes along the way. The relief cut and glass backing was my feeble attempt to give it at least a little individuality. Funny you should offer the blue glass suggestion as I was/am betwixt and between blue, green or maybe a combo of them both with a blue sky and the green below the tree line. I felt that there was too much empty space to not fill the background. Edited February 26, 2019 by Old Joe John B and Scrappile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldhudson Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Love the pattern and your cutting is great. The color and 'texture' of the glass go hand in hand with the pattern. It would be interesting to see it backlit. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcdennis Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I think the background brings out the pattern better. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Joe Posted March 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2019 Thank you, everyone or your kind comments. I have decided to keep the glass. I actually was offered a pretty high price for it, though my wife isn’t sure that she wants to part with it yet. RabidAlien 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
