My most recent project, please help


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, this is my most recent pattern I have done, I was not able to upload the actual picture but this is the pattern I used. I know it is not the most impressive thing in the world but I have only been scrolling for about 5 months. I cut it out of 1/2 inch aspen and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what kind of finish to use. I was planning on making a platform behind it for a candle to sit on.

I would try a couple of different finishes on some scraps and see what you like best!

 

Too nice to accidentally ruin with the wrong finish!

 

I do think it looks good.

 

I use spray polyurethane on a lot of things, but, others have different ideas and different ways--- DO what seems right for you after a few tests--- on scraps!

 

We do want to see the "final" also!

Joel.

    I too made this pattern. It is a nice Steve Good pattern that cuts to a nice end result as you demonstrate here. there certainly is nothing wrong with it at all. I still enjoy the one I made. The secret to successful scrolling is to not get into a pattern that is way above your abilities but push your envelope when you find that the patterns you are cutting are easy for you to do. That is my take on scrolling, anyway

Beautiful work on that. One of my most favorite subjects. I use a lot of differnt finishes on my work. Spray poly, spray laquer, tung oil and so on. Try out on test pieces then compare them side by side. If your going to put a real candle behind it, allow enough space for safety and the heat. Keep us posted on what you chose and a finished photo please.
