Headless Horseman

[baggetta]

He appeared to be a horseman of large dimensions, and mounted on a black horse of powerful frame....Just then he saw the goblin rising in his stirrups, and in the very act of hurling his head at him. Ichabod endeavored to dodge the horrible missile, but too late. It encountered his cranium with a tremendous crash,—he was tumbled headlong into the dust, and Gunpowder, the black steed, and the goblin rider, passed by like a whirlwind.

I still remember the chilling scene from the novel projected in the amazing Disney animation from when I was a child.  This legendary figure can now be cut on your scroll saw.  I cut mine from a piece of 3/4" pine and painted it a flat black, using the cutoff for a base.  I then painted the pumpkin head with orange acrylic paint and sprayed the whole project with a sealer.

Save the story clip above for when you put our this display on Halloween and read it to some young and imaginative goblin you might know. Or better yet, read the whole story of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

Your redition of the story will bring chills to many others. well written. The scrolled piece is as well done as the story section you portrayed in your writing. I enjoyed both. A great Halloween piece, especially if you have seen the movie or read yours first , to understand what it is all about. Fun to see and to read. you took a rather simple scroll piece and almost brought it to be.
