A MOMENT IN TIME - A RED TAILED HAWK

[DickMira]

This piece was cut and carved from a highly figured maple board, 22" x 16" x 3/4"  The frame is red oak with an oil stain.  A beautiful sight to capture one of these raptors in action.  Nature provides such beauty.

Eagles and Hawks are some of my favorite scroll saw subjects.  However, my flat fretwork portraits pales in comparison to your outstanding work.

Are you grinding or chiseling your projects and is much dust fabricated doing these you do?

[DickMira]

Kevin, the carving is done with a selection of carving bits in a rotating power carving handle.  Using a chisel could result in a dramatic shattering of the delicate fretwork.  A lot of powdery and fine dust, sawdust, shavings, and chips are created in this procedure---much more than is created with a scroll saw.  It is not something that should be attempted on the kitchen table!!!!!!  Dust collection equipment is mandatory and masks are too.    Dick
