Popular Post Old Joe Posted November 5, 2019 Popular Post Report Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) ....so I decided to scroll Merle out of a 1/4” piece of cherry I had around. It was really fragile to work with. A Charles Dearing pattern. It is also quite small,6”x 8.” Edited November 5, 2019 by Old Joe Add info Roq, Dave Monk, flarud and 14 others 14 2 1 Quote
Foxfold Posted November 5, 2019 Report Posted November 5, 2019 Great cutting. I had to look up Merle and found out his name. A lovely play on words too. xx Old Joe 1 Quote
heppnerguy Posted November 5, 2019 Report Posted November 5, 2019 Well you sure nailed this one. Difficult cuttings always bring the greatest pleasantry when finished, as I am sure this one has done for you Dick heppnerguy Old Joe 1 Quote
Scrappile Posted November 5, 2019 Report Posted November 5, 2019 Yep, that is a very nice cutting. I do not do many celebrities, but I really like the faces that show some mileage and maybe some rough hard living.... Old Merle always looked that way to me. His face has character and you captured it... Old Joe and heppnerguy 2 Quote

flarud Posted November 5, 2019 Report Posted November 5, 2019 Awesome! I'm a huge Hag fan. I just saw two of his sons in concert last Friday. It was the second time I have seen them in the last couple of years. Any chance that you can send a link to the pattern? OzarkSawdust and Old Joe 2 Quote

I seem to be a masochist sometimes. I shrunk the pattern so as I could cut it on the Cherry I had around. It would’ve been a bit easier to cut from Baltic Birch. OzarkSawdust and namunolie 2 Quote
