ST. MAX PORTRAIT

[DickMira]

In this day of consolidations, our church was joined by another in our area and we selected a new patron, St. Maximilian Kolbe.  I decided to create a portrait for our church.  Combining the techniques of scroll sawing, portrait design, carved fretwork, and oil staining, this project was completed.  It was dedicated and blessed and is now hanging in our church.  Dick

Very generous donation, Dick,
About how many hours does a project like that take after the patterning stage?
You didn't mention how large it is.

Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Bob, this piece was approximately 24" tall x 18" wide.  This was the first time I had done a human as most of my work involves wildlife subjects.  I had to spend time searching historical records for a proper photograph which is somewhat limited and I wanted to create a portrait of a younger man rather than an older one.  The entire project took about one month to complete. This was the first time I had drawn a scroll saw portrait pattern also.     Dick

Very impressive work once again.  It will hang in your church for generation to come, something to be proud of.
