Lonesome Dove Part 2

[Scrappile]

A few months ago I posted a picture of Gus McCrea and Capt. Call of Lonesome Dove.  It was at the request of my Nephew that I framed it and he gave it to his work boss.  Well his home boss, (spelled WIFE) was very upset because she wanted it.  So he request I make one for her birthday which is next month.  The fun part was deciding what quote she would want on the frame.  So one bad weather weekend he talked her into a Lonesome Dove day.  They watched the whole series in one day.  Somehow he got her to tell him her favorite line from the movie.  So that is why the quote on the frame.  He insists she choose it.

Great cut there Paul. 

What blade did you use since I'm still learning I need to learn what blade people use for what cut, one think I have learn is that if one person cuts good with the blade doesn't mean your will

Terry, for fretwork and things I cut that are less than 1/4" thick I use the Flying Dutchman Penguin Silver (FD-PS) 2/0 size.  It is a very non-aggressive blade and you cannot cut fast with it.  It does a clean cut and I can controll it easily.   I am never in a hurry when doing the delicate pictures, and I don't have to be, I don't do it to sell.  I will sell, if asked, but it is not why I scroll.   I don't thank many people use this blade, so it decide to try them not order a bunch until you know they work for you.  I order them by the gross...

Great Job! My favorite Movie as well! Too many great quotes. The one that comes to my mind is "We don't rent pigs."

Just for conversation, I like to do little subtle things on work pieces, when I can think of them.  After looking at the pens Clayton posted the other day, I ask him how he did the Air Force logo on one of the pens.  I thought I remembered but wanted to be sure.  It was a process I use to use on pens once in a while.  Anyway on the upper right of the frame there is a little dove that is the dove image from the series.  I found some decal paper from my pen days, printed the dove, sealed the decal and applied it to the frame.  Then I put finish over it.
