Glass Backed Recessed Cuts of Fiona’s Designs

[Old Joe]

These are all based on patterns I bought from Fiona Kingdon, with a few liberties taken and changes made for individual uses. The common denominator is that I did recessed cuts allowing the inner ring to slip forward 1/4” to allow the stained glass panels to fit enclosed behind the scroll work. The “Entwined Lovers” were all wedding/engagement presents.

Beautiful work, RJ

[Scrappile]

Very well done.  I have done her other tree one and have the pattern for that one.  You did a great job.

Very nice work @Old Joe!  I have done a few of Fiona's patterns and appreciate the detailed work that goes into them.  Plus, I like your use of stained glass as a backer.

Nice, very nice!....A lot of work and it paid off for you....Well done!

Steve, in observing how you secured the glass, I notice that you managed to cut the glass in a perfect circle.  I'm OK at glass cutting, but not nearly as good as you.  Because of this, your method would not work well for me.  I'm attaching a photo of how I secured the glass with a back view of the 'sort of oval' glass that I cut for Fiona's 'Blue Tits on Hawthorn".

Very nice idea recessing the inner ring for the glass.

Great work on some demanding patterns.

Frank PelIow, I don’t know if you will see this as I just saw your comment on my cutting the circle in glass. Long before I started scrolling I cut many, many stained glass projects, including Tiffany lamp reproductions, kaleidoscopes, and large and small flat panel projects. I sold, or gifted most of them, but these are a couple that I kept. Cutting a circle is not too difficult if you have the tools and techniques. I like tucking the glass in with the recessed cut with the scrollsaw, as I think it gives a tidy finished product.

 Nice cutting on all of the scrollings  that you showed! (BTW,I am Old Joe, not Steve, and I am the one that cut circles)

Hi Joe.  The stained glass items that you depict are excellent!  You appar to be every bit as good with stained glass art  as you are with scrollsaw art.  I'm better wit scroll sawing.

Cheers,  Frank
