Fretsaw project: Creature from the Black Lagoon

[yamatetsu]

"Creature from the Black Lagoon"

40 x 67,5cm, backer board 8mm, lagoon 4mm, bottom overlay 4mm, backer board head 4mm, head 4mm, cheap DIY store ply, done with a fretsaw using a #1 blade. The thing is the size of ca. 4 A4 sheets. Everything is done by hand, as I don't have any power tools.

I found the original pic at deviantArt, making the patterns required redoing every single line in CorelDraw, which took about 20 hours. Fretsawing is a very slow process, I guess it took about 30 to 50 hours for this one.

Mighty fine cutting

Awesome job!!! This piece would have been challenging on a scroll saw. Unbelievable talent using only a fret saw.

Awesome!  Great job cutting a difficult pattern and great job coloring it.
