Popular Post spirithorse Posted October 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Just off the saw, a Native American with a Buffalo Skull, pattern by Charles Dearing. I modified it because there was a structure in one portion that, to me, did not represent anything except to take up dead space in the pattern. This is approximately 15" x 14" and, since I use strictly flat blades and do not have a saw with an upper arm that lifts, and therefore bottom feed, this took me over 6 1/2 hours to cut. I m don't know if I am going to leave it as is or add something to take up some of the dead space around the Native American. Suggestions welcome. God Bless!

RabidAlien Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 Awesome cutting! I'd leave it as-is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted October 5, 2020 Report Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Great job. That cut would take me a lot longer than 6 1/2 hours. Even though my Pegas has a lifting arm, I stll bottom feed because I can never get the blade to go through the work without kinking when threading down from the top. I think I would also leave as is. A nice custom made frame will make it a complete. Edited October 5, 2020 by FrankEV OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion I actually ran that through my mind for a while but, wasn't sure what size or how much detail to start looking for a pattern for that. God Bless!

Spirithorse I made a pattern of Sacajawea from the coin she was on, that had her baby in his carrier. I then made a frame of BB Ply and cut a canoe, teepee and several native American items into the frame that had a red backer board to show off the frame symbols. I really liked the way it came out. Just an idea. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 Thanks, @heppnerguy I was looking for some Native American related objects to possibly wood-burn into the frame. Still undecided and itching to get on to a different project! LOL God Bless! Spirithorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirithorse I thought I would show you what I did..It is a simple frame but I thought it was a good idea to add something more to my piece. I made this for a Native American friend and she loved it. I made the pattern from a picture that was one the gold colored coin, she was on Dick heppnerguy spirithorse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
