Three New Portraits

[JohnB]

G'day all,
I cut these last week.
The Horses and Wolf pattern are by Grandpa (Paul) and the Duke is my own pattern.

They are cut from 4mm Hoop Pine with a Radiata Pine frame stained various colours.

Enjoy.

Thanks Bubba Something about the"Wild Horses" Pattern grabbed me aswell. I couldn't stop going back and looking at and finally decided the only way to get it out of my system was to cut it.

G'day Kim, The Duke my Favourite as well as my Dads'. My Dad is my real life Duke. The trick I've found with the Radiata Pine is to sand it down to 320 prior to staining.

I really like the Duke! Lance

Thganks Lance, I made that pattern about 5 years ago and up until I cut this one, Dad was the only person to have one. I made the pattern and cut it for him for his birthday way back then.

All are fine looking scroll work .........you should be proud ..............MB

G'day Marshall, Yep, they turned out pretty good if I may say so myself. I'm never sure if I'm going to be completely happy with a project until I've put the final coat of finish on it.

Very nice clean work, you did a great job on the Dukes pattern John.

Sunlion, thanks mate. I'm slowly collecting all of J.W.'s movies again on DVD and BlueRay. I had heaps on VHS and it made me cry, well almost when I took them to the tip.
