Popular Post FrankEV Posted December 19 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 19 My Barbers (a Father/Son operation) are big time gun enthusiasts who, after seeing some of my work, ask me if I could make something to hang in their shop…the walls of which, are filled with all kinds of signs, pictures, and the like. All things about Hunting, Guns, and Motorcycles plus Police Patches, lots of Pin-ups and much more. To get a feel of what kind of things are on their wall, one of the signs reads “Notice! Ammunition is getting too expensive, so there will be no warning shots. I found an image online that met with what I was asked to make. I created this 9 x 12 inch ‘Gun-In-Hand’ pattern for an Intarsia like painted Segmental piece. The pattern was cut from one piece of 10-inch wide, nominal 3/4" thick, premium pine. I painted the individual pieces with Acrylic Air Brush Paints. After Painting, the pieces were glued onto a 1/8-inch-thick BB Ply backer. The completed assembly was protected with multiple coats of Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish spray.

preprius Posted December 19 Report Share Posted December 19 that is really cool looking. The grey shadowing on hand can show he has a lot of gun shot residue. FrankEV and danny 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted yesterday at 03:03 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:03 PM absolutely amazing. I don't think I could even copy the pattern. It could not be better than this. Truly fabulous project. I bet you could sell the pattern quite easily. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie E Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Yeah, in this day and time guns are a touchy subject. As a youth I had so much fun with my 22 rifle I can't imagine not having all the great memories. I lived in an old coal mining town. We had so much fun shooting cans and bottles we'd thrown in old coal mining ponds before they could sink. The last one to get a shot on a can before it sank was the winner. Regardless of the subject you did a marvelous job on that, especially the painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
