Popular Post FrankEV Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) I found this stencil of a pair of tiger cubs that I thought would make a nice cutting. The scroll saw pattern I developed just seemed to look good in an 8x10 format, so I used a piece of 5/32 x 8 x 10 solid core Maple that I mounted on a painted Black 11 x14 x 1/4 thick BB ply Backer. The pattern is relatively simple but has a lot more holes than what I expected at first glance. For the cutting I used Pegas #2/0 Spiral blades. This piece gave me an opportunity to practice my skills using the Air Brush to add color. Since, in this case I was adding the color to the cut panel, I removed the pattern with the underlying liner, from only the image area so the remaining pattern paper and liner acted as a mask while I sprayed. Happily, there was no paint bleed under the mask. I’m quite pleased with the results but I’m only beginning to learn and would welcome any comments or suggestions about Air Brush work that would help me improve my skills. How to mix paints to obtain a specific color is top on my learning list. I happened to have this natural Red Oak Frame already made and used it for the picture. Not quite happy with it and thinking I will make a new one, but because I used black for the perimeter area, I’m unsure what color (stain or paint) the frame should be. Suggestions welcome. I'll share the pattern in Pattern Exchange. Edited July 18, 2023 by FrankEV red river, Dave Monk, JessL and 11 others 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
