Vector01 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi All: I went to my woodburning books and pulled this from one of Lora Irish's patterns. I thought that this would make an interesting practice piece. My biggest challenge was how to make a scrollsaw pattern out of a woodburning one. I'm still having problems with planning my cuts so I don't end up with a jigsaw puzzle. I went for broke and started cutting away. I added the chinese symbol for fish and another plant to balance it out. The frame design was a last minute idea. I saw a frame shape like that at my local chinese restaraunt the other day. It was cut from 1/2" oak and the majority of the cuts were made with an Olson 5R blade. It was fun. Hopefully I'll be ordering some wood from Sloane's next week. I got a bunch of ideas. Have Fun [attachment=0]fishcompweb.jpg[/attachment] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Boy, that turned out great! I really like that. I'm a sucker for asian designs. You know, I bet that would look really cool as a lamp kinda like fEZ has done in this thread. Having a light behind it would really be a cool effect. Nicely done!

Christina Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Absolutely beautiful Vector.............it doesn't look like you had a bit of problems translating this pattern for scrolling. I love asian designs myself and the lamp idea is a great one........as is a luminary! Really lovely. You did a great job on it. Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
