Wolf Robe

[Scrappile]

Started this last June, then my eyes got so bad I decided to quit scrolling until I could have cataract surgery.  I finally was able to have it done in October and am now getting back in the shop.  Next month I will get new glasses to work with my new eyes and things will really be good to see then.  But I see well enough to get back to some scrolling. 

This is a pattern my Tim @worbler .  It is a great pattern. The Native American is Wolf Robe:

"Wolf Robe or Ho'néhevotoomáhe (born between 1838 and 1841; died 1910, Oklahoma) was a Southern Cheyenne chief and a holder of the Benjamin Harrison Peace Medal. During the late 1870s he was forced to leave the open plains and relocate his tribe on to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Indian Reservation in Indian Territory."  per Wikipedia.

I also read somewhere he is the NA on the U. S. Buffalo nickle.  I could not find where I read that.

I did it in Bass Basswood which is soft and this piece was real soft, so I had to add a few bridges to keep everything in place. 

Thanks to Mr. Worbler for the fine pattern.

Very nice!  I have a couple of patterns similar to yours I will try one day.  Hopefully they are at least half as good as yours.

That is a terrific piece Paul and Tim did a great pattern.  Glad you are able to finally get back to scrolling.

Beautiful piece Paul!! You did a great job. Is that live edge on the edges of the wood? Looks fantastic. Great pattern Timothy.

Nice work by both you and Timothy. Glad you were finally able to get your cataract surgery done and are now doing well enough to get back in the shop and start some scrolling. I know you have missed it.

It is bark on the edges.  Unfortunately not enough for it to show up good.  

Thanks all for the comments.

That is a beautiful piece. American Indian subjects are always interesting to me. I enjoy reading about it too.

Super pattern and cutting. Love the live edge. Fits the picture well. I would like to cut some basswood sometime.

Nice pattern and cutting Paul.   Native American is my favorite kind or art I have a whole room of it.   Charles Dearing has some great Native American  patterns too.   Thanks for showing us.
