  1. Thanks guys. Rusty, My first attempt was the one of my granddaughter the pattern was created by a fellow scroller, the other 2 I did from start to finish. As hardwood is difficult to get hold of in the UK (and expensive) I used 1/4 inch MDF which I then veneered with American oak. I wanted to spray paint the silver surround on the frame black to give them a bit more contrast but my other half didn't agree. And I know what's good for me!!
  2. It's been a long time coming but I finally got around to finishing the portraits of my grandkids. Decided to use shop bought frames in the end. Thanks for all the advice Mel
  3. Hi all, I thought I would post my latest attempt at a portrait. I know it's not a patch on some of the amazing work that is done by other members on here but I'm feeling quite proud that I have completed this project from start to finish I.e. Taking photograph, editing and cutting. Still haven't made my mind up about framing yet. One more grandchild to do then I have the set! Regards to all Mel
  4. Hi Kal, Welcome, I'm Mel from the UK
  5. One lucky neighbour! If only it wasn't so difficult to get hard wood in the UK Nice job Roly
  6. Hi Gary, Like you I am a newcomer to the forum and can confirm they are a great bunch of people only to willing to help. Like others I bought an entry level saw just to see how I got on, found that it is very addictive and bought myself a decent machine. Good advice from Dick although I have found that absence does make the heart grow fonder Welcome Mel

    Hi All

    Hi, Just a quick introduction, my name is Mel and I am from Surrey in the UK. I am a semi retired police dog handler and have been scrolling for about a year now. Started off with an entry level saw (Clarkes) soon found that this was going to be the hobby for me and so invested in a 21" Excalibur which I love. Started my career in 1975 as a beat bobby and then in 1983 I joined the dog section where I spent the next 26 years doing the thing I loved. During this time I had several dogs ranging from Spaniels to Rottweilers. The Rottie's name was Dave hence my handle Look forward to sharing with you and learning from your experience. Mel (or Dave)
