woodworkerguy42 Posted October 19, 2011 Report Posted October 19, 2011 I made this mirror for my wife for Christmas two years ago. Sadly to say, we are now divorced BUT I kept the mirror! I worked on this for 82 hours and I have had it on display at the Woodcraft store in Toledo Ohio. I am proud that I was able to actually make this seeing as the pattern was printed in Italian and the lady at customer service when I ordered the pattern said that this was the only pattern they had that I could return if I felt I couldn't make it. I think that gave me the drive to make sure I would finish this. I hope everyone likes it. Quote

Bill WIlson Posted October 20, 2011 Report Posted October 20, 2011 Very nice work WWG! Our scroll saw club founder had a contact in Italy who would send him patterns for great old classic fretwork pieces. He found some really ornate and elaborate stuff. Your mirror reminds me a lot of the kind of patterns he would get. Great stuff! Quote

woodworkerguy42 Posted October 21, 2011 Author Report Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks to everyone who posted, you all have definated given me the desire to push it further, thanks again. I did run across a web site for patterns from Itally that has some amazing items there. I contacted him and he will sell patterns to the U.S. through email in a PDF format. I will be trying some of his patterns. I highly recommend looking at his web site. Here is a link to the site.http://www.finescrollsaw.com/links.htm Quote
