Grey Wolf, Canis Lupus

[DickMira]

Approximately two months ago, heppnerguy posted a picture of a fabulous wolf scrollsaw project he had done on the Scrollsaw Village forum that was a beautiful realistic cutting of a wolf.  It inspired me to do another wolf woodworking project.  I then received a call from my nephew who recommended that I cut a wolf as my next woodworking project.  He is a graduate of North Carolina State University and loves their wolfpack.

This grey wolf is scrolled on a piece of reclaimed American chestnut wood that is 13" x 10" x 5/6" thick using Flying Dutchman New Spiral blades 1, 2/0, and 3. The scrolled project is then carved with a Foredom Rotary carver and then painted with acrylic paints.  A similar board was spray painted black on one side and then glued on the back of the scrolled piece as a backer, resulting in a finished project that was 1 3/8 thick.  Regards to All, Dick Mira

Beautiful.  I did one several years ago for a friend who is a wolf lover.  I really enjoyed cutting it.  Yours is beautiful.
