The Bully

[cyclistjim]

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

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!!!

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! Spirithorse

OH MY that is AMAZING.  You certainly did a very impressive job.  Congratulations on having the courage to get back on your bike, no many people would have.  So glad that you are feeling better now, I bet it was a long road.

Wow!   Jim you and others that cut patterns such as these have a whole bunch more patients then I have.   Great cutting!   Also glad to hear you are back on your bike again.   I also ride a bike but only for exercise several times a week.   Thanks for showing us.

So glad to hear you have recovered from your injuries and have been back on your back.  Glad you were able to get back to your saw and create this beautiful piece.  Lots of time and effort shown but you did great.  Thanks for sharing.
