Looks AWESOME! What is your circle dimensions? When I had my taxidermy shop, I used to mount the 'big one' for the disabled group we took out. It usually ran about a 34"-38" Lake trout. Last time took out about 87 disabled anglers and caught 122 Lake trout in about 3 1/2 hours. Big fish fry afterwards.
Keep Up the GREAT work!

I'd be estatic to be able to DO something like that!

I'm ready to start on my next project...
It's a Judy Roberts pattern of a horse head.
this project will be heading up to Montana for a Christmas gift...I should of got the mule head since my B-I-L got a real one for his 50th birthday...
So So nice Trout. and I agree. wish i was on your fishing group. I would love to win that babby. thanks for all you posted on how you started it. to the finish. looks great Evie
Hey Trout, great job. Don't mean to be picky but why did you leave the fisherman out? There is a hole that needs to be filled.

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.

to tell you the truth..when I first saw the piece on Judy's website I didn't see the fisherman and when the pattern arrived that's when I noticed him. so what you see is what I envisioned in the first place..
I was gung-ho the first day and by the 3rd day I wasn't feeling the project especially the fish..but I got'er done...
then I hit a burn out period for a day or 4 which lead to doing only one piece a day for the rest of the project..
I did cut out the fisherman and boat which consisted of 4 pieces but by that time I wanted to get it done and didn't want to take any chances of screwing up the piece...
it's also getting harder and harder to give these things away...
I did show it off on our fishing site (I didn't mention that it's the grand prize for the raffle) and everyone loved it. I could of sold 6 in the first hour..
Hell, I'm still waiting for the check for the piece I did sell (gave away)!
I agree, a beautiful piece and wonderful cutting. Years ago, my father had Alzheimer. The last six months we had him in the VA center in St. Cloud MN. His wood work shop is still in MN. I could not take it down to TN....
I have been using spiral a lot more lately Thanks to Charles Hand stunning designs. I have used them of and on since I started scrolling.
They were a real challenge on my Old Delta SS350. cutting straight in and out was easy, trying to cut details going sideways was the problem because of the...
The best tip I have with spirals is to cut straight lines backwards. instead of pushing the work piece into the blade, pull it toward you. Seems to allow for better control on straight lines (most other lines too)
