Popular Post Denny Knappen Posted March 7 Popular Post Report Posted March 7 Bayou Blue Heron pattern by Judy Gale Roberts and found in the current issue of SWWC. I used 1/2" Red Oak and backed with mat board. Cut in the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #3 MGT blades. After sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac and after drying, one coat of spray Lacquer Clear Satin. Comments welcome. Rolf, Phdesigns, Charlie E and 16 others 19 Quote
barb.j.enders Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 Nice cutting Denny. Did you apply the mat board after the dipping and spraying? Quote

Rolf Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 (edited) Nice job Denny! I don't normally like Red Oak but it really pops on this piece! It is a fun one to cut. If I do another I will do some carving on it. When I did the testcut I couldn't get the backer color right and was running out time to send it to FC, so I found a piece of matt board with a color that worked for me. There will be a few more of recently found JGR fret designs in future issues that I am currently test cutting. Edited March 13 by Rolf Jim McDonald 1 Quote
Jim McDonald Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 The grain lends itself to the illusion of feathers. Wise choice of materials. Shellac gives just enough luster. Quote
