bonacker Posted May 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2015 Carl, I did not airbrush anything. Every piece was hand painted and hand stained. Every piece of the frame has cookies for strength. Took me about a month to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 That is a very beautiful piece. I have never used much stain. Mind telling what type of stain you use to get such beautiful colors? Is it wipe on, brush. Just curious also, do you have a jig to get such perfect cut circles? The more I look at this one the more complex and beautiful it becomes to me. Thanks you for sharing it.

bonacker Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I used no jigs. Is there a jig for cutting circles on a scroll saw? I haven't seen one. The only tool that I found absolutely necessary was a compass for drawing the arcs for the sunset. Also for drawing the sun. I then cut the sunset arcs on the saw. You have to be careful doing this, but personally I think cutting circles is much easier than trying to cut a straight line. Don't stop when cutting circles or circle arcs. Keep cutting at a consistent speed and stay on your lines. If you stop, it will probably be beyond repair. I used minwax oil stain for trees, branches and landscape. Wipe on and brush for edges.. The sunset arcs are hand painted with acrylic paint using increasing/decreasing amounts of red and yellow. I needed a gradual transition from the yellow to the red-orange. I succeeded somewhat, but the color transition is not perfect by any means. Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
