Popular Post Smitty54 Posted March 29, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 My second portrait. I take my time doing these, I could not make a living on scroll saw work, it is fun as you know. If it was not for my pension I would be a starving artist. frankorona, amazingkevin, RabidAlien and 10 others 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted March 29, 2021 Report Share Posted March 29, 2021 Cutting is great and the framing is well done. Your choice of wood...argh, to me, not so much. The deep tonal differences in the grain is distracting. I'm thinking ii is pine which is not generally thought of as good looking wood for scroll saw art. I know cost of wood is a factor but Maple, Birch or even a White Oak would have been much better choices. I believe that is why many of us use the BB Plywood or other solid core Plywood products. The grains of surface vaneers are much more appealing. Also, and this is just me and my very personal opinion, I'n not thrilled with thick wood cuts for portraits (faces or otherwise). The deep cuts, when looked at other then dead straight on, tend to distort the image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
