Adding in the extra detail is becoming my "signature". I think it makes the piece.

I cut this new scroll saw portrait today. Pattern design and cutting took about 6 hours.
-
Yes, GIMP2
-
Frank, let me know if you want any help with the pattern making.
-
Very cool!!!

Kevin, as a kid, I spent time in a town with a saw mill. Old locomotives brought harvested pines into the mill throughout the day and night, and I loved to watch them come and go. I also got to ride on a passenger train over the Sierras from Sacramento to Reno a few times. It was pulled by an engine like the one in this picture.
-
I still love old trains as much as I did as a kid. I made the pattern for this from a painting by James Mann.

Pattern made by me from a photo I found online.

I made the pattern for this from a painting by Stephen Jorgensen that I found online. I cut out two of the paddlers to simplify the design and improve the look of the cutting.

This dog is the best I've ever had (throughout over 50 years of having dogs, one at a time). Pattern designed on GIMP2.

Wow...when you come back, you don't mess around! Glad you are back. The crosses look fantastic.
-
Thanks for sharing your your work and your idea. Looks great
-
Great work. Someone will appreciate these very much.

Are you a guitarist, too? I've been playing for 50 years.

I can't go for more than a couple weeks before I need a listen to some Pink. Get on it!

Pink Floyd guitarist. I can almost hear the Comfortably Numb solos when I look at this picture. Such sweet sounds!

Attention New Dewalt Scroll Saw Owners
Kris Martinson replied to Dave Monk's topic in General Scroll Sawing
Does anyone know where there is a tutorial to grease the bearings on the Dewalt? -
Well said.

Len, I appreciate your observations. I don't think you are too harsh, but I do completely disagree. I don't enjoy making patterns from drawings that are nearly patterns just as they are. I seek challenge. The artist who painted the gunman did not paint a perfect replica of a man with a gun. He painted it so that the viewers would have to use their imaginations and senses to discover the meaning of the piece. I loved the theme of this picture, and that is what I tried to reproduce in my wood cutting. I'm not much of a fan of straight lines.

I just finished cutting this from a pattern that I made off a painting I found online.

I just finished cutting this Christmas present for my nephew. From an original painting by western artist and author, Will James. No stain or varnish yet. 11x14" oak ply.
-
Absolutely. Make me an offer, please.

I just finished cutting this one today. No stain or varnish yet. I made the pattern from a painting I found online.

I decided to add some Hawaiian background to this picture, so the bird would be seen in its natural habitat. I got the background pattern from another photograph by Darcy Fiero. This is truly a collaboration between the photographer and myself. I have included her in the process of pattern making along the way. It's a great experience, and I hope it's the beginning of more collaborations like this to come. This updated version is pretty raw. You can see the darker area in the wood from where I used paint thinner to remove the pattern. Not yet dry.
