  1. Thanks Gordie. Well done on that portrait and frame.
  2. I too like special orders, especially at our frame shop. People bring in the most unusual items to frame. Our biggest was a full size guitar with photographs and a whiskey bottle.
  3. Wow, that is super, Michael.
  4. Thanks Todd. Nice comments are always appreciated.
  5. As a custom framer, we use the D hangers and wire. There are different hangers and wire up to 100 pounds. There is also a product called 'Wall Buddies' which attach to the top on both corners.
  6. Living here in TN where the 'Trail of Tears' began, the term 'stripped from them' is very appropriate.
  7. Welcome to the forum from TN. Keep one of your first projects. That way you can see your progress.
  8. Welcome to the forum from TN. One of my favorite designers, Sue Mey, is from S A.
  9. Welcome to the forum from TN. Lots of friendly folks here.
  10. Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I found out that Charles Dearing has a pattern also, but I am sure it is much more complicated.
  11. Thanks Gordie. I got the pattern from "Wild West Scroll Saw Patterns"
  12. That looks super, Brian. A lot of cutting.
  13. Including the name makes it very special.
  14. A wonderful work on that tray. The work is just right.
  15. It always pays to do the right thing. Maybe not with money, but a good feeling.
  16. Wonderful cutting, Marg. Bobby, a great pattern.
  17. Well done on those portraits.
  18. Well done, John. No words necessary.
  19. Thanks, Jeff. That would be very hard to imagine!
  20. Very well done. Two for the work of one.
  21. Thanks Ralph. There are three large cut out areas. When cut, I taped them back in place for stability.
  22. Thanks, Steve. Wow eight wives! I guess I would look like that too.
  23. Last week we watched an episode of 'Have Gun - Will Travel' in which Quanah Parker was a character. I knew he wasn't fictional, so I looked him up. I just had to do this portrait. The pattern is by Gary Browning and found in his book, "Wild West Scroll Saw Portraits". I enlarged the pattern by 65% to fit an 11" x 14" frame. I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and backed with a black mat board. In framing, I used Acrylite, a framing quality plastic. The blades used were FD New Spiral #1 and there are two coats of spray Shellac. Comments welcome.
