Popular Post FrankEV Posted June 15, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) This pattern is another wall stencil that I converted for use with a Scroll Saw. I felt the pattern needed to be as large as possible but, because I use precut project panels, my maximum is limited to 12 by 19 inches. This pattern is cut out of 5/32” x 10” x 19” solid core Maple Ply which is affixed to a 1/4” x 10” x 19” Hand Painted (assuming that is the correct term for using an Air Brush) backer. My only wish was that I would have been able to have the wood grain run horizontally, but, again, because I use precut panels, this was not possible. All easy cutting - estimated to be around 700 holes, I lost count - was done using Pegas #0 spiral blades. The backer was painted with Artist Acrylic Paints specifically intended for use with an Air Brush. A regular artist brush was only used to do the small amount of White under the Geese necks and a little touch up here and there as needed after the panels were assembled. And yes, the Yellow/Red - Sun/Moon (your choice) was painted on the surface of the cut panel. The panel was finished with multiple coats of Krylon Clear Spray Acrylic Protective Coating. And, once again, the panel is set into a typical 1 3/4” wide custom made, premium grade pine, frame I made that was finished with Minwax Poly-Shade Mission Oak. For anyone interested, I used this project to document the steps I took to paint the backer, in this case, using an Air Brush. You can read my post in the Learning Center/ Works In Progress and Tutorials: Painting an Art Panel Backer with an Air Brush I will post this pattern in Pattern Central/Pattern Exchange for anyone who might like to have it. As always, comments and critique welcome. Edited June 15, 2023 by FrankEV BadBob, Rolf, TAIrving and 16 others 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
