Tombstone/Doc Holiday

[RonLes]

Scroll portion made on 3/4 Baltic Birch, Painted with artist oil, Lettering MDF dipped several times in Shellac, Bronze leaf and oil paint details, Background MDF panel finished with artist oil, Inter-frame reclaimed old growth pine, distressed with Shellac tinted with walnut Transtint, Outer-frame Wormy Maple distressed finished with Linseed oil. Portrait and landscape painting is another hobby on mine. I've been searching for ways to incorporate painting with my woodworking projects. This is my first attempt to paint a scrollsaw project. Give me your honest opinion on how it looks.

@Ron, are you trying to pull the wool over our eyes??? 

That can't possibly be your first attempt at painting your scroll work.  

You did a great job, can't wairt to see your next piece.  Thanks for sharing.

Love your project. Have you ever been on Tombstone? We live about 100 miles from it and I have been there many times when our guests visit us from the  North West and have not been there before.  A fun place and a great movie too.  Looking forward to more of  you projects as they are so nicely done

Thanks for the kind words Rick, no this isn't my first scroll saw project, but this is the first time I've incorporated painting into a piece.
