Popular Post heppnerguy Posted October 7, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 I saw this pattern in the Scroll Saw Woodworking and Craft, magazine and showed it to my wife. She said she really liked it and so did I so I cut it about a week or so ago. I have just not got around to posting it until now. The pattern is made by Fiona Kingdon and is on page 36. She had a better wood choice then I have but I cut mine in BB PLY with a Pegas #3 blade for most of the piece. I did, however use a #2/0 spiral for the vaining. It was an all evening job in my shop to cut it out as it went pretty slow, but I am satisfied with the results.

FrankEV Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 That is VERY VERY VERY nice. Great Job! She doesn't show that pattern on her site. How can it be obtained? I don't subcribe to that mag. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don in brooklin on Posted October 7, 2020 Report Share Posted October 7, 2020 That is in the current issue number 81. It is in the insert panel which is really hard to copy. I usually get a copy at Walmart if I see something I like. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Pellow Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I like both the pattern and your use of it A LOT! I've used three of Fiona's patterns but have never seen this one on her web site. It must be new. I will go to her site right now and purchase the pattern. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I would have known that if I had read the above post by FrankEV). I guess that I will need to find the magazine. I'm not sure where it can be purchased and Don's Walmart suggestion is out since I refuse to shop there.

Denny Knappen Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Dick, that is a wonderful cutting. Nice use of spirals for veining. heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 Just a FYI. Looking at her site she does absolutly beautiful work. However, according to her site, even though you pay for the pattern it is not yours and she specifically states that her patterns can only be for personal use only and further states the cut products can not be sold. Those restrictions will make me shy away from using any of her patterns unless I plan to hang it in my own home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidAlien Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I've picked up two different seasons of SSWWC magazine at Barnes-n-Nobels before, and I've seen them at various other places (Target, Walgreens, etc) that have large magazine selections. Occasionally I'll see a copy at Lowes, but the one near me usually only has magazines dedicated to larger projects (decks, furniture, sheds.....weddings?!?).

Frank Pellow Posted October 8, 2020 Report Share Posted October 8, 2020 I see that Fiona gave this piece the title 'Bread and Cheese? Does she say why in the article? Also, does she identify the type of bird. My guess is European Robin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does she say why in the article? Also, does she identify the type of bird. My guess is European Robin. She states that a long time ago in England, hard up country folks would snack on new Hawthorne leaves and blossoms for nourishment. They referred to it as 'bread and cheese' because they didn't have any real bread and cheese on hand. I did not see where she mentioned the name of the bird, but I just skimmed through the article.

Foxfold Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 'A little bit of bread and no cheese' is the song of the Yellow Hammer, a Bunting type bird we have in English hedgerows. I think that might be what the title of the piece means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Pellow Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I wrote to Fiona and asked her the type of bird that she depicted. She answered right away and informed me that they are Blue Tits. My wife, Margaret, thought they looked like Blue Tits. We lived in England for a few years and had a bird feeder in our garden, so are familiar with English birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
