Popular Post DickMira Posted December 4, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 This piece was cut and carved from a highly figured maple board, 22" x 16" x 3/4" The frame is red oak with an oil stain. A beautiful sight to capture one of these raptors in action. Nature provides such beauty.

FrankEV Posted December 4, 2020 Report Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Eagles and Hawks are some of my favorite scroll saw subjects. However, my flat fretwork portraits pales in comparison to your outstanding work. Edited December 4, 2020 by FrankEV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Are you grinding or chiseling your projects and is much dust fabricated doing these you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickMira Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Kevin, the carving is done with a selection of carving bits in a rotating power carving handle. Using a chisel could result in a dramatic shattering of the delicate fretwork. A lot of powdery and fine dust, sawdust, shavings, and chips are created in this procedure---much more than is created with a scroll saw. It is not something that should be attempted on the kitchen table!!!!!! Dust collection equipment is mandatory and masks are too.
