Kingfisher a Fun Segmentation

[Scrappile]

I have always loved the NW Costal Native American Art.  This is one I did from a picture by Glen Rabena called "Kingfisher".  I will frame it when I decide what would be appropriate. Done in 1/4" BB.  Cut mostly with a size 0 Pegas Double skip tooth.

Clean and colorful. Outstanding!

Paul, that is an excellent piece of craftsmanship, RJ

Very, VERY, nicely done.

I guess if you ae able to cut the pieces out cleanly, like you did, painting them and putting them back together must be a cinch.  

What kind of paints did you use?  And, did you protect the entire panel with a clear coat of some kind?   

Details, you gotta give details!!!!!!!!!

A nice narrow (3/4"wide), Museum Style Floating frame would work well for that image. Easy to make, using only the table saw and a n accurate miter sled.

Thanks for the nice comment. Putting the pieces back together is the fun part, I am always worrying I may have lost a piece or they won't fit, very satifying when it all goes together.  The only problem I had was I increased the size of the picture, and it was very pixelated(?), no clean lines to follow. I have got to resolve that before I do more.  I  I used Delta Creamcoat Acrylic paint.  Painted with a brush.  Finished with my go to Deft Clear Wood Finish Semi-Gloss.

How are you making the image larger?

I use Inkscape.  Insert the image, use the trace path command.  This creates a SVG that you can resize without loss of details. Line work can be made any width you want.  I make mine very thin.  This also allows you to change the color of the line work and fill.  Worth learning if you want to use images from onine.

I also use Inkscape to modify images that need bridges and other modifacations as added to be scrollable.

Btw, I'm a Deft Lacquer fan also.

@FrankEV, I was using and very satisfied with Adobe print "free Version" poster option. But it went away suddenly and it appears there is no free version of Adobe anymore.  So I am going to have to learn inkscape I guess.  I am on a Mac and Inkscape appears to be a little different for Mac than Microsoft.   I need to spend some time figuring it out.

Awesome Paul!!

Paul that is fantastic!  Very colorful and so Northwest!  So I have never heard the term Segmentation.  So it sounds like (from the previous posts) that you cut it out (kind of like a puzzle) paint each piece individually and then glue them back together to a backer board.  Is that correct?  Thank you!

[barb.j.enders]

Well done!

[daveww1]

great job

Yes that is correct.  Cut out at 90°, unlike inlay.

Perfect as is all of your projects. Beautifully cut and painted. There are quite a bit of Northwest Native American art in Northern Washington and Southwestern Canada. I personally enjoy it too but have yet to cut any

So what made you change your mind?  Sorry to disappoint

[wombatie]

That is an awesome piece Paul.  I really love it.

Must ask, did you also paint the edges or leave them natural?

Thanks!  I do not paint the edges, using a 0 size blade, the pieces would not fit together it I painted the edges.  

[rdatelle]

Hell of a job on that Paul. Never used a zero blade before. Have to look into that one.

[Scrappile]

@rdatelle  Denny has them, I got this pack I have from a place called Grobet USA, long before Denny started his scroll saw business.   

[Denny Knappen]

Mighty fine cutting and the colors are amazing.

[GPscroller]

Beautiful and bright, great job Paul.
