Popular Post Scrappile Posted June 12, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) Haven't finished much lately. Waiting for my hand to heal up and so many new things I am trying to work at. I did finish cutting this this evening and I really like it. This is a Charles Hand pattern caller "Tigris" pattern "orno5". Says it is approx. 215 cuts, but I really feel it is more. Took me awhile and not finished. I have to sand it and finish applied. I want to mount it on a red background as pictured, only maybe silk...pictured it is sitting on felt. This pattern was unique to me. It said it was a challenge, and it was, only for me in the time it took. But I also felt it was a good pattern for someone that was wanting to do detailed fretwork. I gave lots of practice. Many of the same cuts repeated only getting smaller and smaller with each one... A close look at it will show what I am trying to describe. Anyway, although it took me a long time to cut... I really enjoyed it and have another one of his ornate ones to do.

wombatie Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 WOW that is a beauty. How big is it Paul? Did you start in the middle and work your way out? It looks so fragile. I take my hat off to you, excellent work. Marg Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marg It is approx.. 11" across x 12" tall, I started at the top of the right side worked that half down to the nose, then did the left down to the nose and the the rest. 1 hour ago, Scrolling Steve said: Wow!..I like it Paul...Wonderful work !.......What blades did you use ? Went through a lot of blades using a Pegas #3R Reverse Skip. I was cutting 2 1/4" BB stacked. It really ate up the blades. Lost some pieces on the bottom piece of the stack, don't think I can save it. I will try a different blade when I get around to cutting the elephant. amazingkevin, wombatie and Scrolling Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson142 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Beautiful piece! Certainly looks like more than 215 cuts to me. And using Pegas #3R Reverse Skip blades. That's a lot of turning. Did you do some breath holding when removing your pattern? amazingkevin and Scrappile 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Start and work on it from time to time. I usually have a few projects going at a time so I can switch around. Work on one a while the set it aside and work on something else for a while.

rdatelle Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 You did a great job on that Paul. I can see where it would be a challenge. I stack cut a lot of BB to and it does eat up a lot of blades. Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 That is no less than stunning! Beautiful work. I too have been cutting 2 up 3/16" plywood with Pegas 2/0 MG and the blades do not last very long. Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sycamore67 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 I normally do not comment on this type project but this is outstanding. I have no idea how you did so many intricate cuts without breakage. You did a great job! Scrappile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
