Title: Presidents' Day - a great man to the end.
Post by: EIEIO on February 11, 2013, 09:44:03 pm

This is converted from an actual B&W photo (Daguerreotype?) of Abe Lincoln. I ran it through Gimp Threshold then did some island sinking and bridge building (note the neat part in Abe's hair!). I sent the pattern as well, but if anyone wants to cut it, I'd recommend you skip the name at the bottom. It's a lot more detailed sawing and it's not really needed - most people will know who he is :).

It is 5"x7" on 1/4" birch plywood. Cut with a 2/0 R blade on the EX-21. Finished with Feed-n-Wax.

 I haven't done this before. Can you use the pattern I posted or did you need me to send it somewhere?
