britetomro Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Just joined on Saturday. Was able to get a Gallery started and upoaded 4 of my projects. Have been scrolling for going on 3 years now and love it. Have been woodworking for years however did not know that this level of detail could be created. Many think that the work is done by a laser cutting machine and not by hand. Photos never do the acutal work justice though. Got turned onto scrolling quite by accident when I ordered a DVD from Hawk and now own a G4 26" machine and love it. Live in Orange county, CA. Decided to stay here after I retired from the Marine Corps in 1995 and now work hard for a living. Married for 28 years with 2 boys, 13 & 17. My youngest has expressed an interest in woodworking and made a couple of projects in school this year. Like everthing that I have seen on this site and looking forward to more.

Travis Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 Boy, those turned out great! I really like the portrait of the pope. You did a really nice job on it. Your framing looks awesome too. Really showcases your cuttings well. Thank you for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

britetomro Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Thanks for the kind comments. It has been fun working to perfect my skills. Sometimes I tend to bite off a little too much such as starting with the Cheetah with 1200 cuts as my first portrait type of project. Did a little work and had to put it away for awhile to focus on what I thought to be an easier project with the cowboy. With time though, was able to finish and am happy with the results. Will start to review the Gimp clips and attempt to get into my own designs soon. Thanks Travis the all the work in putting something together for all to learn from.

britetomro Posted May 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 Thanks for your comments Tom and Wade. I really enjoy scrolling and challenging myself for more complex projects. I am presently working up something to post in Wiki on stack cutting to share my success and failures which hopefully will be of use to others. Happy scrolling, Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
