In my neck of the woods (Vancouver, WA), temps got to 114 degrees last weekend, which is an all time high. Holy schnikes, that's hot! If I was smart, I would have head to the beach to cool off. Well, since hindsight is 2020, how about we throw our own beach party? This month's scroll saw challenge is enjoying the beach. Post your beach, coastal, nautical, or fun in the water projects! Tell us a little something about the project, like who you made it for, or why, or a story behind it. I really enjoy the stories behind projects. It will be fun to see what y'all come up with.

I adapted a free image of a metal wall hanging to create a nom 10 ½” x 14” Intarsia pattern. Wood used: Aspen, Basswood, Poplar (textured with a wire wheel and enhanced with Green Acrylic paint applied with an Air Brush), Padauk, Walnut, Wenge, Yellowheart, and a Tan mystery wood for the island. The backer is a nominal 5/8” thick Premium Pine panel that was lightly painted using an Air Brush to create a sea to sky background while allowing some of the strong Pine grain to show through. The rails of the Walnut fixed frame are 1 ½” wide forming a 15” x 19” panel. Finish is rattle can spray Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish. Comments and critiques are always welcome. EDIT 2: Yep the sun WAS in the water!!!!! Did not see it until I looked at the original photo with this post. The glue had not curred fully and I was able to remove the sun completely without much visable damage to the background. I'll be deleting the sun from the pattern. With my interpretation of the Island, I feel it is no longer needed. Kind of looked wrong even without the colored background.
