Popular Post FrankEV Posted November 29, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 I converted these Spotted Leopard and Cute Kitten patterns for the scroll saw from free images found on-line. The Spotted Leopard cut panel is a 5/32x11x17 Maple solid core ply attached to a painted black 1/4 BB backer. The cut panel was Hand Painted with Artist Acrylic Paints. Cutting was completed with Pegas #2/0 and #0 spiral blades. The finished panel was protected with many coats of Deft Spray Clear Gloss Lacquer. The assembled panel is set in a custom Poplar 1 3/4” wide Frame finished with multiple coats of Minwax Pecan Poly/Stain. The Cute Kitten is 5/32x11x14 Walnut solid core ply attached to a Hand painted 1/4 BB backer. The Walnut cut panel was darkened with Minwax Dark Walnut stain. This pattern was very challenging because of the many very pointy cuts. Cutting was completed with Pegas #1 and #2/0 MGT R blades. The Backer was Hand Painted with Artist Acrylic Paints. The assembled panel is set in a custom Poplar 1 3/4” wide Frame finished with multiple coats of MInwax Dark Walnut Poly/Stain. As always, critique and comments welcome. I'll post the PDF Patterns in "New Pattern Announcements" lawson56, Dan, JAC1961 and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preprius Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Your work is so striking to the eye. I love how you kept the green grass mixed with the paws. Shows some depth and realism. On both the whiskers look like some of the wood would fall out. Are some of the whiskers painted on? FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are some of the whiskers painted on? No, none are painted on. The leopard wiskers are all cut outs. The Kitten wiskers are surface mounted. I did lose one that I did not bother to try to fix. Another is actually broken but glued into place. The Kitten was a difficult piece to cut. preprius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Beautiful work as usual, Frank. I'm sure the kitten required a lot of spinning on the table if you cut that with a straight blade. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first tried with a spiral blade but just could not get the points and pointy interior intersections sharp enough. Using the regular blades, in some areas I did the double cut to get into the interior points, but mostly cut spin cut spin, etc. danny and Dak0ta52 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
