Taking a break

10-22-2006, 12:12 PM

I had to get away from the insanity and madness of planning an outdoor wedding. What better way than spending some time with my saw ?

Did this for my mom, who is visiting today as she cannot be present for the festivities next weekend. She collects lighthouses and this one is located in NC near where she lives. We have visited it many times

cherry light.JPG

pattern by earthwalker. 8 x 10 1/8 cherry ply w/golden pecan stain and deft semi. 2/0 FD " easy spiral " and FD #3 SR

I stacked this and did a second one in red oak ply for the " stash " In retrospect, I wish I had extended the landscape portion to the edges of the portrait and brought the top down a bit
Oh well, learning is part of the game and I'm sure mom won't mind !

Thanx for lookin

Glad you got to get some time for yourself on the saw!

I have to play with many patterns also to extend out the edges, but yours looks fine anyway!

N.Carolina has several lighthouses, if I'm not mistaken that one is Cape Hatteras? Have you been to any others? Such as Bodie Island or Currituck? I think there is also one at Bald Head NC

Hi everyone...long time, no post.
Last year, i was using a website to generate scrollsaw portraits. I lost the link, and forget the name of the site. If it's permitted here, could someone refresh my memory?
Thanks, Steve

PT, as painful as it can be is crucial! I shattered my right elbow in 2003, 5hrs of surgery and lots of hardware put it back together.

Hi Planeur - this sure is an amusing character and I fully understand why you like it. Also, since it is your first intarsia piece you should definitely keep it and sign and date the reverse. It will serve as a great benchmark for your future projects to see how you progress.
