2 Octopus Portraits

Tropical Octopus Portraits

Scott McKenna design was bought off of Etsy

I stack cutting 3 from 1/4 inch material from @loweshomeimprovement on my @rikon_powertools scroll saw with Number 5 ultra reverse tooth blades.

The frames were made from upcycled 2X4s on my Rikon Table Saw and @craftsman router table

The blue framed portrait I made for some dear family friends, I used my @toocaa_official 20w laser to add some sand dollar badges

For the Half Lap frame, that was my Mom's @turtle.dove.ceramics Christmas Gift and I wanted to go the extra mile on the frame, after making both frames, I spray painted the blue on with spray paints and stained everything else with @minwaxusa wood stains

Everything was assembled with a combo of @thegorillagluecompany and medium grade CA Glue and Activator from @klingsporswoodworkingshop

I then finished both portraits with several coats of @rustoleum clear gloss and after it was dry, I wrapped twine around the corners of the half Lap frame for a nautical flare.

Very fun projects to make!
