britetomro Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 One of my three younger brothers passed away in March. I reached out to the pattern designers and received three examples to work from. DonR came the closest to a perfect match of the photo. I stacked 5 pieces of 1/8" oak veneer ply, one for myself and the others for family in Florida. I also make my own frames and even got into doing my own matting in order to keep my costs down. My nephew sent me a photo of my Mom looking at one of the portraits which was sitting on the couch and no words can express more than what that photo revealed. Thought I would share for others to see. Many thanks for this site. Ron Falcon, oneleggimp, DonR and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron I believe DonR went the extra mile to give you the best possible pattern for a fitting tribute of your loved one.I grieve with you too,and feel out of place not having the right words to say.The finished portrait is loaded with character,top of the line quality wood portraits tend to bring this out with few lines.Your ideas to place it on matting brings out even more beauty of your work.You've been a member 5 months longer than me from way back in 2009.I used to love seeing your work thru the years.My lettering skills either came from you or one other scroller back then .I was mesmerized at the razor sharp quality you displayed in the words you did,I thrived on every letter you cut and wished i could do the same some day.I think you had a p20 saw then.And i still would like to try one.Thanks for being strong in the club and showing your work!
