Popular Post FrankEV Posted September 16, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 This great H. Botas pattern was slightly sized to fit a 13” W x 12” H panel. The cut panel is 5/32” thk. Solid Core ply affixed to a same size 1/4” thk BB ply backer. Both panels were hand painted with Artist Acrylic paints. The cut panel was cut using Pegas #0 Spiral blades. The assembled panel was finished with multiple coats of Delf Clear Gloss Lacquer. The Frame is a simple 1 3/4”wide Poplar, stained with Minwax Early American and protected with multiple coats of Minwax Clear Gloss Wipe-on Poly.

Denny Knappen Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 That looks super Frank. The colors make it pop. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted September 16, 2021 Report Share Posted September 16, 2021 What a beautiful blend of painting and scrollsawing. It is almost to the point that you can not tell it is scrollsawn. The backboard has different shades of tan that really break up the scrollsawn look. The brushed hair breaks up the sharp black painted section. Wow. the more I look at this the better it looks. Did you consider an Oval frame? A verticle oval might look a bit better. Me. Mark Eason FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Eason Thank you for the nice comments, but I'm not sure that "not being able to tell it is a scroll saw piece" is a good thing. It was not my intent, but as the colloration proceded, it did take on that almost a painting like appearence. My initial reason for colorization of my work was to make cuttings "POP" a little. No way was it the attemp to make imy work into paintings, which I think happened to some degree in this piece. Yes, the painting of this piece came out quite good, I don't feel it keeps the Scroll Saw cutting as the foremost work. And, NO, I did not consider an Oval Frame. As I said above, the painting like colorization process just happened so the rectangular panel was planned from the get go. Although I'm happy with this piece, I don't see myself pursuing this degree of colorization in future projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
