Hummingbird

[Dave Monk]

I would like to thank Laura Soffer for allowing me to use one of her gorgeous photos to create a hummingbird scroll saw portrait. The outside of the frame measures 15 1/2" x 12 1/2'. The portrait is cut from 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and finished natural. I used a 1/4 underlayment painted black for a backer. The fame I made from poplar, painted flat black and topped with 2 two coats of matte clear. dave

Very well done Dave and nicely framed.

Dave, that is an outstanding cutting, you drew a perfect pattern from the pic. It is an amazing close-up picture of a hummer also, it's easy to see why you would want to use it for a pattern.

Nice cutting and frame.  I like it.  I had never thought to use a quarter of my underwear painted black for a backer, but i like the way you're thinking...      I like different.
