ScollSaw Slasher Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 Posted a racoon in the tree in the intarsia section a few days ago. Neighbor wanted one for his granddaughter so made one up. Changed three basic things. Cut the patterns with Pegas blades (3 reverse) rather than FD (3 reverse). The FD's in my hands gives a much better precision cut. Two, changed the forehead and other body parts from white oak to ash. Thought the ash turned out a little better. Thirdly, sprayed the first with Valspar satin and the second with Rustoleum satin. The Rustoleum is so much glossier approaching a true gloss finish. Oh well. Sam777, Dan, leshko and 4 others 6 1 Quote

meflick Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Nice work the second time around just like the first one. I have this pattern (or similar - the one i have is Judy Gale Robert's) - I have great intention of getting it done some day. I can only hope mine looks half as good as either of yours. Thanks for sharing. Quote
