Popular Post Charlie E Posted January 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Samwise Gamgee and Frodo Baggins. One of my favorite pieces so far. I love the Lord Of The Rings movies and I think this quote pretty well sums up the moral of the movies. Not a bad quote to live by. The symbol under the quote is a symbol J R R Tolkien made up. It is made up of his 4 initials. The cutting is 9" X 11"-1/2" red oak with some mystery pallet wood I glued together and planed for the backer. I nearly wrecked it a few times including a piece that broke off, that I was able to glue back. And worst of all, I put it in my chair while I was working on the backer, and sat on it. Can't believe it survived. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6C8SX0mWP0 Edited January 21, 2022 by Charlie E Loskoppie, John B, new2woodwrk and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 The cutouts around the heads is visually engaging and accentuates the faces in a way I don't think I've ever seen before. Quite striking and beautifully done. I'll try to remember this one if I ever get deep into designing patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's primarily for making patterns for the Cricut vinyl cutting machines. It's fun to play with anyway. I was able to play around with it and get something close and then clean it up a little in Paint 3D. It was still a bit of a rough draft when I glued it on the wood. This is what I used as a pattern.
