MrsN Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 I cut this chipmunk over the last couple of weeks. the pattern is by Mike Willams of http://mikesscrollsawpatterns.com/it is a great pattern and was fun to cut. I hadn't done any detailed spiral cutting in a while and I saw the pattern posted on facebook and decided I wanted to cut it. It is far from perfect, there are so many mistakes, but once the pattern came off it looked great anyway! I think I may add some color when I frame it up, but haven't really decided how I am going to do it yet. I took pictures along the way and created a slideshow, I think this link will work. https://goo.gl/photos/xMY8N5rJtzxP1bfV6 Katie Birchbark, hotshot, Smudger and 6 others 9 Quote
RangerJay Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) There are not a lot of really stand-out pattern-makers but Mike Williams would be one of them. Terrific looking cutting - and really enjoyed the slide show! Very interested to see what you do with color and a frame. Thanks, Jay Edited November 6, 2016 by RangerJay Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 You did Mike proud, MrsN !......The way it is taped in the slide show looks like you may have stack cut it? Quote
penquin Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 Great job on this one. Mike has some great patterns and you did super on this one. Can't wait to see how you frame it out. jim penquin Quote

meflick Posted November 6, 2016 Report Posted November 6, 2016 Thanks for taking time to do post the photo and then the slide show of your work in progress. Great work on that chipmunk. I look forward to seeing what you do in finishing off the piece. Quote
MrsN Posted November 6, 2016 Author Report Posted November 6, 2016 I decided to finish the chipmunk instead of doing laundry today. I painted it with watered down acrylic paint. I had this frame that fit so decided to use it. It needed a break between the frame and the piece so I painted a black border. The border cuts into the cutting and I am not thrilled with it, but overall it works. Quote
