Hello Gary and welcome to the scrollsaw village family. eagledrum70

I completed my Eagle picture and I noticed Amazing Kevin cut it also and I was very impressed with what you did . Here is my go at it and this one is mine and going on my wall right beside one I cut out of Oges. I would like to note that i did make a change to the pattern right before I started cutting it . Toolbeltman mentioned the beak did not have enough detail so the only thing I changed was I put a cut at the forehead and back of the beak to seperate the two. I think it was just enough to give it that detail it needed . I cut it out of 1/8 in. Baltic Birchply and it is 12 by 14 and I decided to make a Rough Sawn Cedar frame for it . I also posted the picture I made the pattern off of . I would like some feed back , Thanks Eagledrum70

This is a hand drum called a Ashiko it's a Japanese style drum. It was hand made by a friend of mine here in Matthews , N.C. He has a website called RhythmHousedrums.com. I quit smoking cigarettes july 2008 after I lost my Aunt to cancer and my 8yr. old cousin Kylee found out she had Lymphoma which is a blood cancer. She is in remission now and that is great. Anyway I had my friend make the shell for me which is made out of Walnut aruond 25 individual slats glued together. I got it from him and wood burned the pictures on it before I put the head on it . I call it my Beat Cancer Drum. The picture of the Eagle is for my one year anniversary i quit smoking which you can see the dates in picture . The Dolphins are for my cousin Kylee because she loves dolphins and the Bear is for my aunt who loved Canada and bears. Ihave been involved with a organization called Drumstrong since 2007. Iwill be selling pictures at the annual event coming up in May and I would love for all the great people on here to check out this website and let me know what u think. I want to do some special pictures and auction them off at the event and donate all the money to the cause. It is a 24 hour drumcircle to raise money for cancer research. Please check it out and give me some feedback. The website is http://www.drumstrong.org. it is a great cause and i would love some of the talented pattern designers on here to make some patterns for me relating to drumstrong. Drumstrong has a facebook page also where you can get pictures or ideas . I have facebook also under Glenn Munson . Thanks for reading and let me know what u think Eagledrum70

Thank you very much Travis . That will help alot .Eagledrum70

Yeah she gets on under my username . She likes looking at everybody's work on here. Thanks for comments, Eagledrum70

Glenn, all the humming birds are great. Sure would hate to choose just 1, so I guess I get them all. The ones that made the patterns for you did a fanstatic job, Thanks to you and all the other scroll saw village buddies. Your Mom

Well I thought about using mating like in regular pictures but I found that that is to expensive. So what I did is went to Hobby Lobby and bought black and white poster board . That is what you see around the outside of the pictures . I cut the black a little smaller than the white so you get that white reveal . Eagledrum70
