Popular Post Frank Pellow Posted January 22, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 FrankEV recently created this and told us about it in the thread: Parrot and Peony - Bragging Rights - Scroll Saw Village Here is a photo of my attempt: And here it is hanging with other birds on a wall in our (very small) downstairs Loo: This is cut from 3mm thick Baltic Birch plywood and the backer board is the same material. I painted the backer using many different acrylic paints. I found it hard to locate the correct colours exactly behind the holes that I had cut. The painting was much more difficult than the sawing and I won't be doing anything like it any time soon. The frame is made from 1/4-sawn White Oak and I gave that a distressed look by first painting the frame then sanding off some of the paint. Everything was finished using clear gloss "rattle-can" stuff. Alexander Fadeev, new2woodwrk, Dave Monk and 10 others 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted January 22, 2021 Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 I think your 'Bathing Bird' should be in an art gallery not a loo. !! wombatie, meflick and amazingkevin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, but the "bathing bird" is not my design. I based it upon a serigraph painted by Charlie Harper. I'm sure that the original of that is in an art gallery.

wombatie Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Very nice in deed. Absolutely love the bird gallery but could you not have found a nicer place to put them? The Bathing Bird is awesome. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 You met the challenge beautifuly...great Job. Yes, finding where to paint behind the cut panel is hard. The frame complements the panel very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb.j.enders Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 Wonderful work. I like that you put things in the loo- a very forgotten room to decorate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched in awe while you were making it and just loved the 'updates'. Regardless of whose 'design' I still believe it should be where everyone can see this awesome piece and marvel at your skill.
