Denny Knappen Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Finally finished. I had a hard time finding silver paint. This is a modified Sue Mey pattern. Using 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and backed with 3/8" Baltic Birch plywood. Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using Pegas #1R MGT blades. I should have used a thicker blade on the veining by the hearts. Comments welcome. meflick, Tomanydogs, Roberta Moreton and 5 others 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denny, I know that you can buy silver engine paint in spray cans if you ever need it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankEV Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Well done and absolutly beautiful. The silver did not photograph very well mainly because of the competing background...a dark background would have made the silver stand out. Now If I was making this lovely keepsake, I would have painted the rose red, the leaves green and the rings gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
