Thanks RJ. I don't keep track of time. If I would venture a guess, maybe 5 hours.
-
Thanks for the comments
-
Very well done. As Paul said, the book just doesn't do justice to the patterns.
-
Thanks Lew. I enlarged the pattern by about 35% to make it a little easier.
-
Thanks Paul. Mine too. Years ago we saw Bison up close and personal at Custer State Park in South Dakota. Of course we stayed in the car!
-
Thanks Jim. With the design I couldn't use spiral blades ( lots of straight lines} so I used FD UR blades.

I finished this on Monday, May 13th, actually took several Mondays. The pattern is by Jacob Fowler and found in "Woodworker's Pattern Book". I used 1/2" Mahogany 8" x 12" with 3/4" Red Oak for the base. The base has a slot to hold the upright. I used FD UR #1 and #5 blades. The finish is three coats of spray Polyurethane Clear Satin. Comments welcome.

I didn't use any stains, just spray Shellac. Show pictures when finished.

Thanks John. I just used the eyes to make sure it was aligned.

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Thanks Marg. No, I have not heard much about Gary. The book is rather old, but still some good patterns.

Thanks Bobby. This took a full sheet of 12" x 24" plywood.

I have a friend that has an art studio in Custer State park every summer. He is going through some health issues and I thought this would be a nice gift. The pattern is by Gary Browning and found in his book "Wild West Scroll Saw Portraits". I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood 12" square. and back with a black mat. Of course framed at ArtCrafters. I used FD New Spiral #1 blades and finished with spray Polyurethane. Comments welcome.

I saw this in his email last week and thought I would make one. I enlarged the pattern by 15% to make the basket just under 6" square and 2 1/2" high. The sides are 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and the top and bottom are Mahogany. I used FD Polar #5 blades as I stack cut 4 pieces. Finished with spray Shellac. Getting each layer lined up when gluing was the hardest part. Comments welcome.
