Eagle

[Denny Knappen]

The pattern is by Jacob Fowler and found in the current issue of SWWC.  I used 1/2" solid Walnut for the upright and 3/4" solid Walnut for the base.  Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades for the interior cuts and Pegas #3 for the exterior cuts.  After sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac, sanded again to get rid of the drip marks.  A final coat of spray Lacquer Clear Satin.  Comments welcome.

Thanks RJ.  It was a little difficult, especially around the eye.

Nice work! Eagles are always a favorite subject.  

JFYI, the photo was taken looking slightly on a down angle which makes a lot of the cutting work disapear. I know you wanted to show the base, but I would have prefered to see the cutting work.  IMHO, the photo should have neen taken centered on the Eagle and square to the vertical face of the cutting.

Thanks Frank.  Looks like I am a scroller and not a photographer.
