Sweeeeet work Dick, tell us more about that hammered aluminum paint.
Not to complain, but sure wish the photo was a tad larger.Gloria ............... Two memorable things to say in life, "Hello" for the first time, and "Good-bye" for the last.

Nice work, like the colour and finish.

Fantastic Job as always Dick, is it one of your patterns?Chuck D
When a work lifts your spirits and inspires bold and noble thoughts in you, do not look for any other standard to judge by: the work is good, the product of a master craftsman.

Reply to Vintage scroll saw identificationGot it. Your picture was rather dark and could not see the construction.
I still don't think it was mass-produced though....-

by handibunnyThe strip method is the way to go for small compound cut objects. Betty's photo reminded me of my first published project in SSWC, in 2007, which was a bow box, and pulled up the strip of hand-drawn patterns I submitted for making the bow loops. It really makes the process go quickly.

I must try doing in strips. I have always done 2 at a time with small clamps to hold the birdies.
Also, when I do mine I always fill the hole with moss. I used to use dryer lint or cedar leaves but I got a bag of moss from dollar store and it will last a lifetime.
