Feet wet

First scroll work, done for a friend's husband who is a lineman. Pattern by Sam Custodio, Pegas MG #1 blade, Jet saw, 1/4" BB. Finish color by customer request, framing design my own. In framing, I wanted to highlight the lineman aspect of the work, plus, I'm not a normal kinda guy anyway, so...

That is very nice and you have cut it beautifully. Nice pattern and framing.

not only is it cut very well, you really added some interest to it using your obvious, great imagination.. I hope Sam sees this because it WILL make his page for sure. One to be proud of

very nice job, I like the wires on the top

Details about the framing: the poles are 5/8" dowels, crossbars are 1/4" BB ply, wires are picture hanging wire. Medallion and sawtooth hanger adhered to backer with E6000, poles and crossbars with a pin nailer. Can't see it in this pic, but I added crampon divots to the poles with a fine toothed pull saw by striking the dowels angled down.

I heard from the friend that her husband "LOVED IT" so I'm good with it.

On my to do list.  BF is a retired lineman at ATT.  Now works for Tri County Electric and they have a lot of lineman.  Golly I hope they all don't want one!!

Sam has about a half dozen lineman patterns. Check them all out & let your BF choose his fav!

If you get overwhelmed with requests, I'd be happy to help you cut some.
