Bandito Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 Here's a moose skull silhouette that I cut out of 1/8" masonite scrap with a bit of white paint added to make it look like bone. I personally am not a broncos fan, but my wife is. This was cut out of 1/4" ace hardware plywood and the painted with acrylic. She thought it was cool as heck. Painting this was a pain in the neck. If anyone has any tips to make it easier I'm all ears. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Painting is ALWAYS a PITA job. Have some one else do it or better yet choose wood that has that color and then you do not have to paint or stain at all. Great job on them btw. Thanks for sharing them with us.

jerry1939 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) Hi Newbie, Re: Painting. Would it work for you to play the intarsia game? Use the same wood if you like, but instead of trying to paint to a line, saw it. Paint the individual pieces & glue them to the backer. Just a thought (At my age, I don't get many) jerry Edited December 24, 2015 by jerry1939 Bandito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodduck Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 As Jerry suggested ,I think I would do this as a segmentation piece,Paint the pieces individually & glue them together & to a backing board. Rounding the edges of the pieces would give it a slightly 3D effect also .Cheers Peter Bandito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Johnson Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Very well done Chad. I must agree wth Jerry. 'MERRY CHRISTMAS ' and all the best for 2016 to you and family. Bandito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandito Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 The picture doesn't show it, but it is a segmentation piece. I stack cut the two layers along the outside. Separated them and then cut the inside of the top overlay. The ear, eye and nose pieces are floaters that were glued down. Everything was painted then glued together. I used a brush this time, maybe next time I'll try spray paint. The moose head was one piece with just the skull portion being painted. Thanks everyone for taking a look and for the suggestions.

Bandito Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Here's a different angle showing the two layers. This is actually the second one that I made. It will be a Christmas present for our daughter that lives in Colorado. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a Christmas present for our daughter that lives in Colorado. A rattle spray paint can would simplify the painting job ,seeing as the pieces separate from each other.I like your idea to do it this way.Good clean detailed job!

newfie Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Nice work i really like the moose silhouette is the pattern available somewhere for it. Bandito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandito Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 I found the image on the dreamstime.com website in the free images area. Then I ran it through inkscape program following Travis's videos to turn it into a cuttable pattern. Which by the way are freaking awesome. Thank you Travis. I hope I didn't violate any copyrights by using this image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Bandito, Another manner in which to cut this as a segmentation piece would be just ONE layer, cut the orange area out of the blue area. Now cut the white area out of the blue area. You will still have three blue pieces with-in your white cut out. Cut those blue areas out. God Bless! Spirithorse Now paint each piece individually and then glue them back into one layer. A backer board is optional but, probably advisable. Bandito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 I too have painted a few pieces and I liked them, but my wife did not. Sometimes. painting just gets the work done when you just do not have a variety of woods to use or none of the woods bring out the pattern as you want it to. So in this particular piece, I think I too would have painted it. Wood Duck segments and paints almost all of his work and i never stop enjoying every post he makes. He does use an air brush and is very good with it, but I feel you guys are a little harsh on Dave. I think if everyone did every piece the same, it would be a little boring to look at the posts. Just this man's opinion Dick heppnerguy Bandito 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
