Wow, Gator. What a great design and cut.
-
Second effort is GREAT!
-
Your work belongs in a beautiful gallery, not on a street corner. You are far too talented for this type of venue.
-
You captured the movement of the dancers perfectly.

Great work. I really liked the Mexico cutting. -
Thank you all for your nice comments. It means a lot to me. Now an update on this project....... Yesterday I asked my son to bring my grandson over and spend the day with me, so he and his wife could have some time alone. it was great, cuz I got to spend such a nice time with my grandson, while my son took his wife to a movie and shopping. When they returned to pick up my grandson, I gave them the scroll saw tiki picture that he had requested. These are his exact words: "It's creepy-looking." Then he told me that they are probably moving to Kansas City (I live near Sacramento, CA). And they left without taking the picture I made. I feel like I've been kicked in my heart.

Good work on both projects. Intarsia is incredible.
-
Thank you all for your comments and encouragement. I'm trying to decide what to try next. Portraits are my "safety zone".

The green tiki pic is the one my son gave me as an inspiration to make a tiki picture for him. I couldn't make a decent pattern for it, so I got a better tiki picture, and I put my son and his family in it.
-
Yeah, I did that with each post, Kevin. Still didn't work. It might be my crappy pc and tablet. I just know that it is frustrating and I don't want to bother with it anymore for a while.
-
I still can't get the picture to attach. Sorry...won't try again.
-
This is the Tiki pic that I made for my son. I put his family in the pic.
-
Ignore this post!
-
This post was a disaster. I posted three pics and attached them to the text, using my desktop pc. Somehow, they never got attached, even tho I checked it twice on my pc. Oh well. Everyone just ignore these Tiki posts. maybe I'll try again sometime.
-
Sorry I posted this twice by mistake. I wasn't able to delete one.

My son likes tiki art and asked me to make him a scroll saw pic. He sent a pic which I could not use. So I went online, got my own tiki pic, then I put his family into the picture for him. This is the final cut piece.

P.S. This plywood really ate up my saw blades fast!

I need help from all you experts out there. I bought a sheet of Baltic Birch ply from my local WoodCraft store (expensive!), and I cut a nice wedding portrait for my niece. All went well, but when I stained it, it took on the stain very unevenly (is that a new word?). I hate to throw the sheet away, but I'm sure not going to use it again with this result. The cutting took me several hours, then I ruined it in less than five minutes with the stain. So I have some questions for you: 1. Can this be fixed? 2. Where do you get good quality plywood for your projects? 3. This sheet has a very rough surface. I had to sand it A LOT. Is there any possible use for this sheet, other than (s)crap?
-
Wow...thank you all for the great help. I'll try combinations of all your advice and see what works out best for me. I love this group....so happy I found it.
-
Nice. Looks perfect.
-
Thanks, Larry. What do you use to apply your patterns?
-
I used some 1/4" plywood for a recent portrait project. When I removed the "green frog" tape after finishing the scroll saw cutting, some of the smallest cut areas of the veneer chipped off. I only bought the best available plywood from my local Lowe's store. I'm sure there must be better quality plywood, but I don't know where to buy it. or should I use a different technique to apply my pattern?
-
What do you use for a chuck for the very small drill bits? I have some small bits, but my Dremel won't hold them.

Help and advice needed on special project
Kris Martinson replied to Kris Martinson's topic in General Scroll Sawing
OK...I'll take your good comments and give it some more tries....but not for a while. I need a successful outcome on my next few projects just to get me back in the groove. This one was very frustrating. I think the paper used to print the photo was junk. Also, using ModPodge was the wrong choice. Oh well....live and learn.
