WOW, you did a real nice job with this one. You know your stuff, when it comes to scrolling ! I like it. I also agree about the hair thing. It's difficult just laying it out for a pattern. I was doing an all black Shi-hytsu dog pattern & I just can't get it to look like it's black. Thanks for sharing your portrait. You can be proud of it.

Well done. I think everyone is afraid of spiral's. I use them consistently & I do like doing portrait's most of all. Well, other than wildlife. I like doing personal portrait's for friends & others too. I would recommend using the spirals for your portrait's, & emphasize the smaller size, the better the outcome. I use mostly 2/0 & 3/0 Flying Dutchmen blades. They have always been great for any type of fret work. Good luck with the spirals & just practice, practice. You will see the improvement as you go along. I know I did. Thanks

That is really unique. I love it. You did a real nice job cutting those angle's & will be a beautiful piece when finished. Thanks
-
WOW, those are really nice. I love the coloring. It does a lot for all of us. I'm glad it relaxes your wife. I think it does a lot, even for me when I add color to a piece that I've done. Thanks so much for sharing. Wonderful work by you both.

They really are beautiful pieces. I really like your variety of different pieces of work. You are talented for sure. I got an idea from your Angel, to do something like that with a dark color of acrylic & a white backer. Thanks for letting us view them. Take Care

Struggled with spiral blades but got r done

WOW, Dave, you did a fantastic job on that pattern & cutting both. You are a Natural for sure. It was a good idea to show the picture along with your piece. It really shows how well you did. Nothing better. I like the spiral blades & have to use a flat blade now & then just to keep in practice. It takes a lot to cut the sharp corners when you are used to just moving sideways. Sometimes I even stop the saw & turn the piece just so I don't have to cut sideways. Its breaks up the monotony of cutting. Thanks for letting us see your works. Appreciate it & keep up the good work. Take Care -
WOW ! That really looks fantastic. You did a wonderful job on it. Now guess who you have to make one for. Think about it. Who suggested it? Really nice cutting. Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you all. I really like doing this kind of cuttings. After cutting my first bass, I decided to paint each one that I did after that. I just like it better with color. Some cuttings I don't want too much color or maybe not any at all. Depends on the subject. I did one of John Wayne & just dusted his vest with an oak stain & it was just enough. Thanks again everyone. PS HAPPY FATHERS DAY ALL YOU GUY'S

Great job. I'm sure they would be proud to attach that to their stables. Looks great !
-
That is quite an excellent choice for our country & people. You are definitely an Artist & designer as well. Excellent workmanship. CONGRAT'S TO YOU. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi all. Been absent for a while, but, still going. Just finished a picture for my niece's husband. He is a Bass fisherman. Didn't take too long & was done on a 1/4 in. birch ply that I had left over from Michael's store. I made the frame from one that I had on hand. I've done this Bass several times, so it is popular for me. Hope you like fish !!

Really looks nice. You put your loss to good use. I wondered what happened too. I haven't been busy lately, but, did cut something for my nieces husband. I like your choices too. You do fine work. Thanks
-
You really did a fine job all around. Nice pattern & will be fantastic when you finish. I love the old west stuff too. I have done gun & holster, both with the scroll saw & one pyrography too. Thanks for sharing it with us.
-
Thank you all so much. I don't do much of my work for sale, but, now & then I like to do something for someone, & don't charge for it. Most are for friends or relatives. Thanks again everyone.
-
Haven't been around much & only did a couple of Pyrography projects lately. I used this 1/2 inch piece of BBirch that I got at Michael's a while back. I beveled the edges & stained them with golden oak. The backer is just a sheet of black foam that I get from Michael's also. The couple are good friends & they really liked my portraits, so I told them I would do one of them. They travel here from Canada each winter & have been doing that for the last 29 years. I wanted to do this for them, because they may not be able to travel any more. Sure will miss their company. I used two pictures to get the right smiles for the cutting. I think it turned out fine. Thanks for looking.

Nice job. I assume you have a Green Thumb ? Looks nice on the deck. Fill-er- up !
-
Nice job Denny. Looks great. You have a good idea there, too, with the key holder. I like the wood choices too. It really sets it off. Good cutting. Thanks
-
BEAUTIFUL You really nailed that one. That's a fine piece of Art. You are certainly a scrollsaw Artist, for sure. Thanks
-
Thank you all so much. I have fun doing portraits. I was going to show the picture that I made the pattern from, but, didn't think it was allowed. I like doing the Cowboy's & those of the TV show's too, like Cheyenne. I need to break down & do a new one now. Been kind of slow lately. Thanks again everyone. You're the Greatest.

Have had these two cuttings of John Wayne finished for some time, just never made the frames for them. They are 13 in.x 15 in. BBirch 1/4 in. & the frames are 1x2 oak & the other is mahogany. I made the pattern with pencil. Let me know what you think of them.
-
No words to describe how well you did. I love it. I think you did a fantastic job on the pattern. Wondering what you used to make up the pattern. It really looks great. I really like it with the matt added & the frame too. Thanks
-
That's a goof idea, John. When I have a large pattern to cut, I add a wing on one side of my 788. I do use spirals the majority of the time, even on small works. I like working with them as I can turn the wood if I want to. Just stop & turn the piece without continuous movement. Good Luck
-
Thank you all very much. I had fun working this one out. Like I said my photo of the planes just wasn't enough, so added Liberty. I had been thinking about doing one with the planes & then it grew to this. Thanks so much.
-
Just finished this & have been thinking about doing it for some time. Finally ! I used a 1/2 in. slab of basswood & touched it up with color. I had the picture of the planes from our airshow some time ago & just added the Liberty to complete it. I stained the edging for a framed look. Thanks for looking.

I've been working on making a steam locomotive for several months
