Popular Post Hermit Posted February 5, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted February 5, 2019 This is an AlexFoxUa pattern from Etsy. My first paid pattern. Really enjoyed the quality of the pattern. Congrats Alex on your mention and pic in the spring edition of Scroll saw magazine. You deserve it. I enjoy the realistic patterns you offer everyone. The frame on mine is Mahogany. Finished with 1 coat of tung oil and 3 coats of deft rattle can lacquer. Splines were 1/4" scrap of Baltic birch. The cut was 1/4" Baltic Birch finished with 2 coats of clear shellac/denatured alcohol mix then 2 coats of deft rattle can lacquer. Backer board was 1/4" Baltic Birch. Started out flat....didn't like it then went satin black. Blades used were Flying Dutchman 2/0 Spiral 35 TPI for around the mouth and the rest was Olsen Skip Tooth 2/0 28 tooth per inch. This is a gift for my sister who rescues and preps cats for adoption. lawson56, spotsdad, Scrappile and 15 others 17 1 Quote

Toothpick Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 Incredible work! May I ask what scroll saw you used? Thanks for supply the other details. It really helps a new scroller like myself to know what tools the pros use. Quote
Rockytime Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 I love cats and that is a gorgeous pattern and excellent cutting! Quote
Rockytime Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 Love that pattern! I just now ordered it and downloaded it. Tomorrow I go to Office Depot and have it copied in red and start cutting. Quote
rdatelle Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 That came out great. My Granddaughter would love that but I don't think I could cut it out as good as you did. I'm not to good with spiral blades. Great pattern bu Ales to. Quote

I use only flat blades, they are also good at cutting fretwork patterns, here is result of my cutting by flat blades - one more cat Edited February 7, 2019 by alexfox spotsdad, Tomanydogs, Old Joe and 1 other 4 Quote
Old Joe Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 Great job, Hermit! I really like that pattern. I find completed patterns of Alex's to be as rewarding as anything I do from somebody else's design. I only wish I had the talent and knowledge to design my own.I also cut the one Alex showed above, and like Alex, I used all flat scroll reverse blades. Quote
Smitty Posted February 7, 2019 Report Posted February 7, 2019 I keep coming back to look at this. I'm not a cat person, but wow, this is really really good. I think this would take me forever to complete. I am amazed. Quote
Tomanydogs Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 Nice kitty cat. You did a very good job on this. Quote
lawson56 Posted February 8, 2019 Report Posted February 8, 2019 That is a Down Right Awesome job!!! Quote

Tomorrow I go to Office Depot and have it copied in red and start cutting. I didn't know you could do that. My little copy place said they couldn't copy in red unless it was done in red originally. Will have to try Office Depot next time. Red would of been much easier on the eyes on this cut. Quote
