alexfox Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 (edited) Which one do you like more? I already have made compass pattern, but I like nautical projects, so I made one more. This time I combined compass with steering wheel.

FrankEV Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 Studing both in detail I find both very apealing and well designed. I can see both being done by many. Very hard to say I like one over the other. I, personally, have only one very minor preference. It would be to use the open font for the N,E,S & W , as used in the one with the steering wheel, instead of the boxed font on the other. For some unexplained reason, I find the boxed font is distracting to my eyes. I know we don't typically place Scroll Saw work in a frame under glass, but either of these would look fantastic mounted on a contrasting ROUND backer and mounted under glass in a ROUND frame presenting the illusion of a real maritime compass.

RabidAlien Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 They're both good, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
