Rustic Deer Face With Hunting Scene

Rustic Deer Silhouette With Hunting Theme

This is a newer Steve Good design.

I trimmed the pattern out and attached it to my material with clear packing tape (clear packing tape helps lubricate the blade and reduce burn marks)

The main scroll work is 1/4 inch material and the backer board that includes the antlers is 1/2 inch material.

I drilled all of my pilot holes with my amazing @seycoscrollsaw

Scrollers drill

I then cut everything out on my @deltamachinery scroll saw with number 5 ultra reverse tooth blades (scrolling took around an hour as I was also messing with the laser)

After the pieces were cut, I removed the waste and sanded both the front and back of the pieces with 180 @klingsporswoodworkingshop sandpaper in my vibrating palm sander (an orbital sander would be too aggressive to sand scroll work)

Then it was time for staining, and I used a light @minwaxusa stain and a darker stain to add some color difference.

After that dried, I glued the pieces together with Medium Grade CA Glue. And after that dried, I gave the piece several coats of @rustoleum clear gloss for a finish and protection.

I made this for a good friend who is an avid outdoorsman.

Great way to spend a morning in the workshop.
