Big Cat - Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

March:  Will it be "In Like A Lion and Out Like A Lamb?"  Or will it be "In Like a Lamb and Out Like A Lion?"

Regardless, this month scroll saw challenge is about big cats.  A popular genre in scroll sawing, so it's time to show them off. 

Or maybe King of the Jungle cats aren't your thing?  Post the King of the House instead with kittens and cat projects.  That's what the internet is for, right?  Cat pictures?  

Can't wait to see what you come up with.

I haven't done big cats, but I did this stack of cats for my sister's birthday last year.  Three of the cats are painted to represent the three cats that she has owned.

This is the first big project I did about 9 years ago. All with #3 an #1 FD spiral blades. The frame was done at hobby lobby.

Paul.    I love the second one from the top.  I only wish the pattern included the top of the animals head.  Great work on all of them.   Dick

i love pieces that show action. Cat jumping is great.  I also like bobcats.  so I am voting for both.

Alright, now the cat you might be expecting, but this is a rule within the house as it is  so true. Taken before applying Teak Oil and cut in Red Cedar.

Where does the time go?  It's been five years since I completed this  'Kittens and Tiger' piece from a pattern by Mike Williams.

I did a Tiger earlier this year.

[loftyhermes]

Did this several years ago. 

[jollyred]

Here are a couple I've done.  Have some more but can't find their pictures.

The lion is a Botas pattern, and the lamp is adapted from an internet picture.

Ralph, looks like the cat is getting a prostate examination in the third pic!  LOL  Nice work on all of them.

I cut this a few months ago, but compared to all the others posted I think I will use it for firewood!

 

[Roberta Moreton]

Charles Dearing pattern. I did this a few years ago. I believe it is 3/8” yellow heart. 
I also made the frame.

The first picture (the cat) is the very first thing I ever cut with a scroll saw. I had never done any woodwork using a pattern, I wasn't even sure how the scroll saw, a WEN, operated! I was pleased how it turned out, I could tell what it was and it wasn't all cut up looking like a 3 year old got ahold of it.  So off down the scroll saw art road I went, and I've loved every minute of it...well, maybe not the "designer firewood" pieces LOL. It is standing on the urn of our cat Boo. After 14 years we had to send him across the Rainbow Bridge about a year ago. I made the "Forever In Our Hearts" for him last summer.

The next two pictures are some of the puzzles I sell at craft shows, I'm one of Iggy's Puzzle Zombies. The "CAT" one sells very well.

I'm more of a dog person, but I did cut this one early last year.
