Popular Post Charlie E Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins. One of my favorite pieces so far. I love the Lord Of The Rings movies and I think this quote pretty well sums up the moral of the movies. Not a bad quote to live by. The symbol under the quote is a symbol J R R Tolkien made up. It is made up of his 4 initials. The cutting is 9" X 11"-1/2" red oak with some mystery pallet wood I glued together and planed for the backer. I nearly wrecked it a few times including a piece that broke off, that I was able to glue back. And worst of all, I put it in my chair while I was working on the backer, and sat on it. Can't believe it survived. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6C8SX0mWP0 Edited January 21, 2022 by Charlie E Loskoppie, jollyred, John B and 14 others 17 Quote
Joe W. Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 The cutouts around the heads is visually engaging and accentuates the faces in a way I don't think I've ever seen before. Quite striking and beautifully done. I'll try to remember this one if I ever get deep into designing patterns. Quote

I think it's primarily for making patterns for the Cricut vinyl cutting machines. It's fun to play with anyway. I was able to play around with it and get something close and then clean it up a little in Paint 3D. It was still a bit of a rough draft when I glued it on the wood. This is what I used as a pattern.
