Popular Post Old Joe Posted January 30, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) I asked for help for a pattern to make a portrait for a friend’s wife of her musician husband. Grandpa got me started and I took it from there. My friend often plays Bluegrass in his shed, so I expanded the picture a little bit.I also added a few details to his beard. I’ve done better guitars, but this is ok, I guess. Three pics included: one of the picture Grandpa used, one of his pattern that he did, one of the almost finished piece. Thanks for your help, Paul!

rdatelle Posted January 31, 2023 Report Share Posted January 31, 2023 You did a great job on that. No complaints here. All I can say is thank God for Grampa and all the other pattern makers. Old Joe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I can say is thank God for Grampa and all the other pattern makers. I have mixed feelings on this one. I took Paul’s pattern of the guitarist and glued it to 10” x 8 1/2” piece of Baltic Birch and just went freehand on the beard additions and all of the background walls & window without any pattern. Just kind of drew it with my blades as I went along. There are a couple of things I wish I had done differently. I might actually redo the whole thing. rdatelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was drawn to the back part of the pattern cut as well and I thought the way you did that added a lot to the portrait.
