FrankEV Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 I converted a free stencil version of this image I found on-line into a scroll saw pattern for mounting on an 8” x 10” backer. I cut the image using Pegas 2/0 spiral blades in some scrap 1/8” BB ply. I positioned the cut image on the 1/4” BB Ply backer on a diagonal for a more pleasing visual effect. After deciding how I wanted it to align on the backer, the cutting and the exposed cut out areas of the backer was hand painted using Artist Acrylic Paints. Again the painting of the cut piece was tedious and time consuming. And again as usual, after the cutting was affixed to the backer, the panel was finished with multiple coats of Clear Glossy Spray Lacquer. The frame is 3/4” wide Polpar finished with Minwax Classic Black Poly/Stain (I see in the photo I have to clean a few fuzzies off the frame that went undetected until you get up close with the camera.) This piece uses an additional leftover cardboard kick stand backer from a cheap frame I had purchased way back when for another project, making it a Table Standing Piece. I decided to do this piece to replace a similar but different piece, that I had previously made, which has been sold. Critique of my work is always appreciated. jollyred, TexasDIY, goldfish and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab4 Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Hi Frank: After reading your comment, I said to myself "He's asking for it, so I'm going to let him know what I think about his work" Darn it, I have nothing to say except that looks really good Oh wait. I found something Roses should have been yellow or white...sorry, that's all I've got Keep up the great work Frank Fab4 FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have less painting. But the red look fantastic. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
