GrampaJim Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 This is a pattern by neptun from the SSV pattern library here. I used 1/4" oak ply and mostly 2/0 FD spiral blades. Finished with BLO. Framed 8X10 with a Hobby Lobby cheap frame. Jim neptun, Lucky2, Fish and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kywoodmaster Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Wow I really like that. That Oak really sets it off, but everything is better in oak. At least I think so. Great pattern Neptune, I will have to try that one GrampaJim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 very nice job. It is one that would keep you taking looks at it over and over if it was on a wall in a room you were in. There is nothing to criticize here and that is not my intent with this next sentence, I am only offering my observation here. The only thing that I would do different if I were to cut this pattern on this wood, would be to turn the wood 90 degrees and then the grain would look like a partly cloudy sky behind the bridge. I hope you take this for what i am trying to point out and not as me being critical, as I have no doubt in my mind that you skills surpass mine, my intention is only to share an idea, nothing more. this is absolutely magnificent in every way.

Dick heppnerguy Hi Dick, I understand your observation and welcome other viewpoints. That is why we are here. I looked at grain direction a long time before starting this one. I did it this way to match the direction of the boards in the side of the bridge. But the other direction would work too. Had I been thinking, I should have done one of each, sense I stacked two pieces. Maybe I will remember next time. As far as skill goes, after some practice with spirals, I think they are easier then following a line perfectly. There are a LOT of misses in this piece, but because of the nature of the lines you can't tell. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are way ahead of me and my views.. Dick heppnergy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pellow Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Great job Jim! I'm encouraged to attempt either this pattern or something similar early in the new year.By the way, I would run the grain the other way too. And, I will probably get a chance to try a horizontal grain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I read in the Scrollsaw magazine that a good thing to do is print the pattern on a transparency first. Then you can lay it out on a board and see how it will look with the grain, knots, and other character the wood contains. Give a good look at where to glue the pattern. I plan on giving this a try. heppnerguy and GrampaJim 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
