Another Arrrrrrga!

[FrankEV]

Could not have my Pirate Art Panel collection with only Female Pirates.  I was able to find a B&W image of Black Bart, that was much like the one I used for Mary Read.  The conversion was time consuming but resulted in a scrollable pattern.  The pattern is quite busy so, as a result, it was necessary to add many bridges after the cutting began.  All cutting was done with Pegas #2/0 Spiral blades.  The Cut panel is 5/32” Solid Core Maple Ply affixed to a 1/4” thick BB Ply backer painted Black.

From my research, Black Bart was a fierce Pirate, but even during battles he would always be dressed in very fancy clothing.  He was known to always have worn a large gold cross hanging on a gold chain. The coloration of this cutting, done with Artist Acrylics, is purely out of my imagination of what his clothing may have l looked like. 

The Frame is 1 3/4” wide Pine, primed and painted Black.

While cutting his name, I almost misspelled “Bartholomew”.  Did not want to have a repeat of a misspelling like I did with the Anne Bonny Cutting.

Comments and critiques always welcome.

Maybe there is a spell check for a scroll saw!  You shouldn't announce your errors, most of us wouldn't notice.  I know a lot on here will be telling me to speak for myself!  Great looking plaque!

I "almost" misspelled It, but didn't.   If I had, just like my previous misspelling of Bonny, when I cut Boney instead of Bonny. It was noticed and I heard about it.

I don't know how you guys do such beautiful work. I thought I was pretty good until I joined SSV. But I get as much joy out of my work as you do yours. I have learned so much since joining SSV. I hope I live long enough to do everything I want to do.
