Keep me on the list. Thanks -
This is a marquetry picture I made with my shop built marquetry saw. It was an attempt at getting some practice on my marquetry skills. It is finished with three coats of sanding sealer and a coat of wax.

This is a box that I made for my granddauther to keep her treasures in. The marquetry on the top was only my second attempt and I used the double bevel method using the shop built marquetry saw I posted here a while back. The box is red oak and walnut with a coat of tung oil and several coats of lacquer. My granddaughter calls it her "treasure nest".

This is my first attempt at marquetry. Used the double bevel method and a 6/0 blade. Just finished it in time for Easter.

Just finished this. It is a Jeff Zaffino pattern. Seemed to take forever. I didn't really keep track of the time but it was considerable. It has a ton of inside cuts. Cut in 1/8 baltic birch ply using a 2/0 spiral blade.

Here are a couple more cuttings I just completed for the up coming show I have been asked to do at our local library. One is from a pattern I developed and posted here some time ago and the other is a pattern I developed from a James Bama painting. Sorry can't share that pattern. Both are done in 1/8 baltic ply using a #1 spiral blade.

I have been asked to show a few of my pictures at the local library. This is one I just finished of a wolf. It is cut in 1/8 baltic ply using a #1 spiral blade. I developed the pattern from a photo I found on an old calander. The lighting wasn't the best so I hope the photos are ok.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words. I truly enjoy everyones talent and the willingness to share. I am consistantly impressed by the other work displayed here. It is a motivation to me to continue to strive to improve and learn new things. I have just started learning to do marquetry. I hope to have something to show off in the not to distant future. That is if work doesn't get in the way of my fun. lol

I did these for two nephews one in texas and the other in Montana. The portrait is a Jeff Zaffino pattern and cut into 1/8 baltic birch ply with a 2/0 spiral blade. The clock is 1/8 and 1/4 red oak with an oil finish. The clock pattern was from wildwoods.

I have been using GIMP for awhile now but all of a sudden I can't get it to print in landscape mode. I am about to upgrade to windows 7 do you think this will help my problem or do you have any other suggestions?

Here is a picture of one of the wood cuttings matted and ready for the frame.

I finally finished cutting this pattern. I tried something a little different. I sandwiched 5 sheets of paper between two sheets of 1/8" baltic birch. When I finished cutting the pattern I had two patterns cut in wood and 5 in paper. The paper is slightly heavier stock and I used a light tan and white colors. They came out great. I will frame one up and post a picture of the paper cut so you can compare. I used a #1 spiral blade. The two wood cut outs are on the left.

I love your work. Awesome! A couple of questions. What wood do you prefer? What blade do you normally use? Do you put any finish on when you are done? How do you attach pattern and then remove it? I too enjoy the same type of scrolling and am always interested in how others work.

Great Job! a one of a kind portrait.

A portrait of our friends dog named Tigger. Just thought you might enjoy.

I finally got around to cutting one of my patterns. It is funny how work interfears with your fun. I changed the photo to get a better view. Pay no attention to the man in the reflection. lol
-
Thanks for the input everyone. I will give these a try to see what I like best.

When framing a portrait cut in baltic birch and putting behind glass, would you or do you put a finish on? If so, what do you use? I would think the glass would protect it so it wouldn't be necessary. When I use Oak or ohter hardwood, I use lemon oil to bring out the grain but it doesn't do much for baltic birch. Any thoughts? Thanks

Just found this site the other day and posted a few patterns under Hallway. Just started doing my own patterns and not sure how they compare. I look forward to participating more in the future. The Wooden Wizzard.
