Here ya go Donald, hope this works for you. Cut the black, and if you would like, on the crown and the branch, either cut as is with the bridges or just cut the peices without the bridges and glue them to the backer.

Hey Curry, here's another one, I just threw this together. The idea behind this one is to be self framing (cutting the inside edge on a bevel so that it will inset the inner panel. If you're not familiar with this type of cut Steve has a great video here about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zCgoWn-E2w&feature=player_embedded. Cut out the black letters and rout a round over or ogee on the outer ring and you're good to go.
Charlie... Very nice pattern.

MW, Its rare to see a frame that should not have a picture in it, this is one of those times. That frame is so nice all by itself that any picture put in it would not do it justice, maybe a mirror or nothing would be a great option! Excellent work!

LOL, Wade, I like it! But if I ever tried to stop giving my two cats their catnip treats every night, I don't think it would be pretty, they both have very sharp claws!

General Scroll Saw Talk / Sloan's Plywood
« on: May 07, 2011, 06:20:10 pm »
I know a lot of people here get their BB from Sloan's, I'm curious about the other plywoods they sell such as the Walnut, Maple, Mahogany ect.
Has anyone used them? How well do the other plywoods work for scroll saw projects and how well do they cut? Is it a good value at Sloans or are there other outlets? Would it be better to just buy the hardwood even though it can be difficult to find in thin pieces (I don't have a planer yet). Any input is appreciated.

Charles, I must agree with Sheila, you have an extraordinary artist ability when it comes to your pattern design. But I must also disagree with you, not everybody has natural artistic ability, so not every one can do what you do as easily as you say. I'm a perfect example, I can recreate others work, but it is extremely difficult for me to create my own. Your talent is your own, and it shows, and it's something to be proud of.
About spiral blades. Like many I was hesitant to use them due to all of the negativity surrounding them, but when I did my first portrait pattern I used spirals, I instantly came to like them. Granted they are not for everything, but if you're going to do a portrait, you've got to at least try it with a spiral blade. If you make a mistake with the spiral on a portrait, nobody will know except you and they are so much quicker than a straight blade. All I can say is,get over the fear and just try them.

Pattern Requests. / Re: To the Pattern Makers here...
« on: May 03, 2011, 11:17:44 pm »
Paul, by no means was I saying "only one pattern should be made" and I apologize if it sounded that way, that was not the intent. I'm just trying to come up with a way that several of us don't make the same pattern at the same time, unless you want too. If it's a pattern you like and want to do, then by all means go ahead and do it. I'm sure the one requesting the pattern would love more than one option.
As for myself, I am brand new to pattern making (it takes me several hours to complete a pattern), I have done several that have not been posted as practice. I'm still not nearly as good or as quick at it as you are. So please don't take the initial post the wrong way. I have all the respect in the world for your abilities, and the others here, and hope to one day be half as good as you are. But for me anyway, I know when you start a pattern it is a rather large time commitment, and I simply wanted away for other pattern makers here to decide whether or not they want to make that time commitment knowing that someone else has already started working on it. To me it's a matter of simple communication, any decisions are personal ones, by announcing that someone is working on a pattern is just added info to help in someone's decision to make a pattern or not. I hope that makes sense.
