Around the corner Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Well I put the scrollsaw and computer to work. Awhile back my daughters friend which is her boxing trainer asked me if I could do a portrait of her 2 children.I said I would have to see her pics to see how clear they were..I couldnt even say how much or if it was a go. But behind all this my daughter and myself found some good pictures but as time went we found out that her coach got into financial dillema so I made the portrait anyway and we will give them to her no charge,I always like the challenge of doing them and for toddlers I like doing the best. I used some oak I had left over from last project for frame and bought some bead molding shaved it down ,painted black and baltic birch for main pattern.Some day down the road I will meet up with these portraits I finished and say I did that.

penquin Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well done on all aspects of this project. Patterns, cutting and framing are super. Really like the edge work on the frames, very nice. Thanks for sharing them. Only question, your daughter has a boxing coach ? Just kidding. jim penquin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the corner Posted March 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Thanks Kevin my brain is in overdrive trying to learn all the different ways of pattern making .All the members have such fantastic talents of how to make things it is hard to gather it all cause you all make it look so easy but I keep forgetting alot of you are the kings of this trade and years of experience so belonging to this club is a true blessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Very nicely done. The only reason things look easy is practice.. plenty of practice. We all have made our share of designer firewood. There is about 1000 years or more total experience on this board. Most are quite willing to answer questions and what not. You are doing great. Portraits can be some of the most difficult to do yours are great. Thanks for sharing them with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think the part that makes the best pattern maker is the knowledge of how it should look when cut, if you have that you have no problems. By the looks of these two you have the knowledge, all you need is practice. They both look great and she will love them and you for your generous gift.
