Scotty Cut!

[Scrappile]

This is one of Charles Hand's patterns. I'm not sure how I want to finish it yet, but if someone wants to practice their cutting of inside and outside curves, this is a real good one to try. None of the cuts are real difficult, but there are a lot of them. If I were teaching a scroll saw class, I would show the basics, then tell the students to get one of these patterns to practice with.

Since the screen shows snowflakes, the bull looks like he is frozen from ground up.

 

Wow, great effort. 

If I was your student I would fail this project.  Probably just barely pass your course.

As for finishing ideas, not a winter scene,  make the little tiny branches green for spring growth. Practice painting.    To protect the fragileness it probably should be framed with a Sajuaro catus next to it. 

You did good.

Paul, that is amazing!  What type of wood did you use to cut this (and thickness).  If it was me, I wouldn't add any color except maybe shellac or the normal amber from some of the oil finishes.  Nice work!

Paul, that is something that would give me night mares, you have done an excellent cutting, how long did it take you, I know i would be looking at a couple months, RJ

I don't really keep track, but my guess would be around 15 hours.  Maybe a little more took three hours for me to cut the parameter.  Felt like it went on forever!

It looks like something I would try to see if I could do it.

Great job Paul, this series of patterns by Charles is intriguing.

I’d seen the pattern but don’t remember seeing it cut. Fantastic job!

Paul, my eyes are already hurting. That is a great job cutting.

Oh wow that is amazing.  You did an awesome scrolling job Paul.
