Popular Post MarieC Posted June 26, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Not sure what you call what I am doing since I am making this up as I go along. My apologies for the glare... Again, I used @Dave Monk technique for raising the vines out of the wood. I used 3/4 inch Walnut, Purple heart, Red heart (which turned kind of orange-ish) and Yellow heart which I inlayed into the walnut before scrollsawing and then carving. It has multiple layers of epoxy for depth while I was painting. I chose the grapes because my son-in-law loves a good wine and my daughter, Molly, loves flowers I hope you can guess where they were married Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

I appreciate your support and you really motivate me to do better. I am still very slow...I think I have done two pictures to your 15 or more! Someday I may get quicker. Now, as you well know, life keeps getting in the way of our scrolling.... Alas, I promised my husband that I would make mirrored medicine cabinets for our bathroom so I will have to take a pause on my scroll sawing for a bit. Maybe I will try to do a little scrolling in the evening. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorinoDan Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 First off Marie, that's a very beautiful piece. What a wonderful wedding gift that will be treasured forever. I don't want to hijack your thread so feel free to respond to me via message. I did a few searches, but am striking out looking for more information about @Dave Monk technique used to "raise the vines out of the wood". I'd like to learn more. Could you or Dave point me in the right direction? Thanks! Again, awesome work! Danny MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done much scrolling lately. We took a trip to the Smoky Mountains, plus I started watching Breaking Bad and got so hooked on it I watched all 5 seasons in about 2 weeks.

Danny Danny, Thank you for your kind words....Regarding Dave's creative way of doing things, I used the inlay tutorial that Dave posted in the resource section (I think he has made some changes to this technique).: And below is a link to how he did the "embossing" of wood designs (lift a tree out of the wood) Be sure to read the entire thread. I needed to practice a few times before I got it.... JackJones, Gene Howe and Charlie E 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any recommendations? You can get a inexpensive burning tool at any craft store if only to be used occasionally If back is still unfinished you could just sand smooth, write all pertinent info in pen and then apply a protetive coat of clear lacquer or poly. If wood is dark use a white ink pen. MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barb.j.enders Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 @MarieC, that is a stunning heirloom piece. As @FrankEV mentioned, you should absolutely add information on the back. MarieC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
