tbphotos Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 I saw this project in the summer 2011 issue of SSWW magazine and since I had some of the same wood on hand, I decided to give it a go. All the owl pieces were cut on the scroll saw, then shaped, sanded, glued back together and painted with acrylic paint. The backboard and bottom front pieces are (varnished) Cedar. The twigs and artificial moss were hot glued into place to ensure permanent placement. This project stands 14" in height and weighs a couple of pounds. The item can be hung on a wall or can be free standing on a table, mantle or shelf. I have to admit, this project was a 'HOOT' to make!

tbphotos Posted June 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Brett, I shape my smaller pieces with my Dremel tool, and larger, heavier shaping on a drum sander in my drill press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
