Popular Post Insane Dust Maker Posted April 27, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Took a week off from scroll sawing to make frames that I have been putting off doing. The Leopard and the Cheetah is Russ Beard Patterns ( the Cheetah is from my own stock of photos staying in South Africa I visited various Wildlife Park two to three times a year and built up quite a stock, I sent the Cheetah to Russ and he was kind enough to make a pattern for me.) the Dragon is also a Russ Beard pattern from the series The Game of Thrones. With the wildlife cuts I stuck to the Shou Sugi Ban techniques because it’s part of Africa. The Dragon frame is a Black epoxy Stain that came out quite well, all in all I’m happy with all of them, cut on 1/8” Baltic Birch Plywood.

Gene Howe Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Mighty fine kitty pics. That scaly thing ain't half bad, neither. And, the frames are excellent, as well. But, what is that black epoxy stain to which you refer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insane Dust Maker Posted April 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 It’s a Black Epoxy Stain that’s made locally in South Africa it’s a water proof sealant that can be used indoors or out doors and is a water based product, first time trying it, happy with the end result.

FrankEV Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Great cuttings, great presentations, great frames! Love the oversized Backers on the cats. Are the backers natural wood or colored with ????? Or maybe fabric? They look pinkish in the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked up the product. I found thst it is framing mattboard usually used when framing potos and such. That is why it almost looked like fabric. Appreciate the info.

Insane Dust Maker Posted May 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 Marg between my son and myself we have about 25000 photo taken in the various game reserves here in South Africa, we watched all the game including the Big Five numerous times, witnessed kills by prides of lion, the most spectacular experience is seeing the Cheetah at full speed 70kmh, with his tail straight up in the air to act as a rudder, oh so many time so many memories, and the Rhino, and Elephants are been killed daily, so sad to see that, we at least have seen so many times it will never be forgotten.
