Popular Post FrankEV Posted December 31, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 I found this free stencil pattern on-line. I converted it into a scroll saw pattern and sized it to fit a 5/32” x 10” x 11” Solid Core Maple cut panel that was affixed to a hand painted ¼” x 12” x 13” BB ply backer. All cutting completed with Pegas #2/0 Spiral blades The colored portion of the backer was painted with Artist Acrylic paints while the 1” wide perimeter mat area of the backer was painted rattle can spray Chocolate Brown for a strong contrast with the natural Maple panel. As usual, I protected the finished panel with multiple coats of Deft Clear Spray Gloss Lacquer. Once again, the panel is set loose in a 1 3/4” wide Poplar Frame stained with Minwax Honey Maple and protected with multiple coats of Minwax Clear Gloss Wipe on Poly. I plan to remake the frame for this piece as I am unhappy with the corner miter joints.

Jim Blume Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Great job all around, Guaranteed you have more patience than I to do all those colors underneath. But the results are certainly worth the effort. FrankEV and danny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the results are certainly worth the effort. This one was very challenging as the cuts were so close to each other. I use additional copies of the printed pattern to make rough painting stencils, but it is still not easy getting the colors in the correct locations. I also play with shading of the larger areas to get different colors in different areas without worring where the exact cut lines are. Thanks for the kind words.

I have a fondness for paper cut patterns, but when I modify them to make them scrollsaw friendly, they are the same in regards to close and narrow lines. But again, If I cut that I would certainly be proud to call it my own. FrankEV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
