FrankEV Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 This is another conversion of a ZM Creations Illustration I made into a Scroll Saw pattern. Just had to add another piece to my "birds". The cut panel is 5/32 x 11 x 15 Maple solid core ply affixed to a hand painted 1/4” x 11 x 15” BB ply backer. All cutting was completed with Pegas #0 Spiral blades. The backer was given a coat of Acrylic Gesso and then hand painted with Artist Acrylic paints. I used additional copies of the pattern that I cut out with an Exacto knife to help locate the areas to be painted the various colors. Of course as always, the assembled panel was finished with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Lacquer. My usual frame width is 1 3/4, but, because I messed up a cut and did not want to waste the wood, this frame is only 1 1/4” wide Poplar stained with Minwax Ebony and finish with multiple coats of Minwax Satin Wipe-On Poly. BTW, they are Parrots, if you had not figured that out! jollyred, Charlie E, OzarkSawdust and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Pellow Posted May 16, 2021 Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I really like this Frank When I utilized your 'Parrot and Peony' pattern (see: My version of 'Parrot and Peony' - Bragging Rights - Scroll Saw Village), I liked the result but I had a lot of trouble with the paining. I thought, then, that I would not try something like it again. But, I like this so much that I'm going to put myself through all that painting bother again. It will make a good companion piece.
