Full size golden retriever scroll pattern

[tetermax]

Howdy ya all:

Got started in Scroll sawing thanks to my wife who said after looking in a pattern book - why don't you try and cut out that? I had a small jig saw and almost stopped there but then went to a local hardware store and got a Delta unit and have since graduated to a DeWalt unit - I just finished one of Jeff's smaller version of the cougar and am waiting for more 1/8" wood to do the big one - now that I've gotten that far, would like to find a full size, if there is one out there, a golden Retriever pattern, Why? I have 3 of them at home - Pickles, Giggles and Mollie - would appreciate any help anyone can provide for such a pattern - have seen head shots but would like the full size animal [pattern, of course]. You all have a super day.

Warm regards

Hi Tetermax
Welcome to our great group. I'm sure there are patterns out there for retrievers. I am into dragons but I'm sure someone else knows.

Hi Tetermax,
I will keep my eyes out for a pattern for you. I had one of those smart beautiful dogs until a short time ago. She started getting seizures which got progressively worse & more frequent & she would be blind for a while afterwords & we made the decision to end her suffering. But oh what a dog when she was healthy!

Welcome to the group! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

If you send me a pic of one of your dogs, maybe I can make it into a pattern for you. My brother has a plotter and printing the pattern would be a cinch.

Just curious as to what you consider a full size pattern to be. A golden can get up to 100 lbs or more and that's a pretty big dog...so is full size a 24"x36" dog?
That sure would be ambitious!

Welcome Tetermax. I can add a golden retriever named Summer to your group. My brother owns her and are you ready for this, sent me pictures of her swimming with a doggie life jacket on her and two long ropes so a person on each side of the pool could hold onto her. Now I thought all dogs knew how to swim, especially retrievers? Anyway, you'll find we're a mixed bunch in here!

Good Morning Jeff:

It would be something that could fit on say a 11x14" piece of paper - I'm about to do that size now with the cougar - appreciate any help - thanks for the reply.

Hi Mia:

Would be happy to - I'm getting ready to do a cougar on a 11x14 piece of paper - 4 layers of 1/8" thick so that would be wonderful and let me know costs etc - have a super day.

Hi Ron, Welcome to a great scrolling forum.
I also like Golden Retrievers, We have one named Barney, he is a little over 10 years old.
I never see good patterns of them.

I have a Golden Retriever intarsia pattern.

Change of size for Scroll pattern

Hi again:

When I said "full size", I meant more than just the head, e.i... head, body, tail legs etc on maybe a 11x14 give or take pattern - sorry for the confusion and thanks for the warm welcome - what a message board this turned out to be - will be chatting with you all later.

Warm regards
