My Latest (This was a little easier)

[Jediscroller]

This was a pattern by my good friend Gloria Bryan (her patterns can be found in The Wooden Teddy Bear with the prefix KC). The wood was a gift from another buddy, Barry (bearfretworks) and I believe it's Sapelle (African Mahogany). I just winged it for the outside at about a 35° angle freehand.

you did that sapele proud! Very nice Jedi, very nice!

What did you use, if anything, for a backer?

Just remembered that sapele was prettyy wide. what are the dimensions?

[Gill]

I do like that, Kevin .

The sapele has a very interesting grain. Have you thought of incorporating a piece into a project which features the American flag?

Thanks Gill and Barry. Believe it or not Gill, the flag idea did cross my mind with the grain pattern in this piece.
I just used a piece of black felt for the background Barry. It measures about 9ish" X 13ish" (how's that for precise measurements, hehehe). I have plans for the other little oddities you sent me as well, stay tuned!

Kevin, I love it. Someday I'm going to have to try to scroll in something besides BB ply.

Bill,
This was a very easy piece of wood to scroll. It was about 1/2" thick and I used a #3 FD-SR blade. I only used one blade on the entire cutting which took me about an hour and a half of cutting time (about 100 cuts total). It cuts like butter. It's comparable to regular mahogany (sometimes referred to as "genuine mahogany").

Those ducks have funny beaks in your neck of the woods!

Great Job Kevin!

[Rolf]

Very nice, beautiful wood.
What is the finish?

[Jediscroller]

Carl, you should here these ducks quack, .
Rolf, I used Danish Oil and several coats of Deft clear gloss lacquer over it.
Thanks for the kind words guys.

Kevin,
AWESOME Eagle! As always, Great cutting! Great subject matter, as you couldn't tell. I like the border just freestyled. Keep up the great work!
