[Scrolling Steve]

Really enjoyed doing this guy......cutting,painting and putting it back together was  a bit like working on a puzzle.......cut from 3/8 BB ply with a #1 FD ultra reverse blades.....rattle can paint.

Thanks for looking!

Well cut and the painting is excellent..........................

I love it!  Great piece.  How do you get the pieces to fit so perfectly?  Cut at an angle like inlay?

Paul, it is just a straight cut....That #1 Ultra reverse blade doesn't remove a lot of wood and it has an 1/8 backer that everything is glued to.......I guess it is a lot like inlay, the pant helps fill the small gap created by the blade.

The Haida Natives love to use Red, Black,White, Blues and Greens.......So I try and stay true to the style.

Now THAT is different !! Nice job, Steve ! Just goes to show that with some imagination, folks can come up with some very creative pieces indeed   

[daveww1]

very nice, I like the colors too.

i was just looking at some native american art, from the northwest coast the other day and thought there were some good pattern ideas possible.  I like this, and the way you put it all together, nicely done.

 

Thanks for showing this one to us.
