Leopard in the grass

[Insane Dust Maker]

Just finished this beautiful Russ Beard Pattern, it was a double stack on 4mm Birch Plywood, cut with a Niqua 1 Pin Less blade, soaked in a BLO/Mineral Spirit Mixture, finished with a few coats of clear lacquer. Black backer and a second backed smaller than the original cut to give a shadow line effect. I cannot control the final colour appearance that the wood takes on, but I will accept it and am Blessed and Grateful that I am able to produce work like this.

It’s a Russ Beard pattern done in 2021, if you belong to Scroll Saw Patterns Projects and more, go to the group and look under files.

Thank you, surprisingly it’s a highly modified Wen 16” saw that all we can get in South Africa, modified to suit my style of cutting, purrs along everyday.
