Happy Dog

[Denny Knappen]

A custom request. The pattern is by Gayle at the Scroll Saw Cafe. I used 1/8" Baltic Birch plywood stacked two high 12" x 12". Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #0 Spiral blades. The finish is three coats Spray Lacquer Clear Satin with a light sanding between coats. Of course, framed at ArtCrafters. Comments welcome.

Looks like a fun loving K9. 

Great job on the cutting.  You bet those spirals work great?  But Denny, "professional framing" at retail cost most can't afford, sure makes the rest of us that make our own frames, look cheap.  I know the recipient will be thrilled.

Thanks Frank, I sure like the #0 Spiral blades.  Those that make the frames can get the professional look with exact angles.  I have the advantage of leftover scraps.

Thanks RJ.  Using the Spirals left a lot of fuzzies.  Dianne worked hard to remove the fuzzies.

Great job on that Denny. I've got to get back into trying to make my own frames. I keep having them done at a framing store but it does get expensive.

Denny, Great cutting, I think you have the frame thing down, Ha!

Thank you.  The advantage of owing a framing shop.

Very funny.  I should have it down after 15 years of framing.

Nice job Denny. Wish I knew how to use those spiral blades. Just can't seem to control them.
