cyclistjim Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 The Bully is done. I spent a little over a year cutting this. Not because of the number of cuts, 1048, but because I was out of commission last year after being run down while riding my bicycle home from work. I am back to riding again it is how I get around for the last 20 years. When I was able to work at the scroll saw once again the pattern was intimidating. I eventually said I need to finish this thing! The wood is 14x11 red oak ply and the frame is made from purpleheart. The frame is finished with General Finishes Gel Satin. The pattern is Mike Williams available @ mikesscrollsawpatterns.com Phantom Scroller, oldhudson, Fish and 6 others 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 (edited) Congratulations!! First, I am glad you recovered from you accident Second that is a beautiful piece of scroll work. I love Mike Williams patterns. Done a few, have more I need to do. You did an exceptional job on your picture. Now I have another pattern to purchase... That is a great piece. Okay, I just ordered it. Have no idea when I will get to do it. Two others happen to find their way into my cart also.... Hello, my name is Scrappile and I am a patternholic!!!

spirithorse Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I like a lot of Mike Williams' patterns and you did this one justice. It isn't a pattern that I would like enough to purchase but, it is very well done. Framed very nicely also. Thanks for sharing and God Bless!
