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!!

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

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

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, 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)
