A Fun Portrait....
« on: March 22, 2012, 01:14:39 am »
This is from a caricature on the wall at my barber shop...My barber is a long time hot rod and car nut and one of his other customers painted this on the wall of his shop. I took a photo and Grampa made me a pattern.
10 x 13 - 1/4" BB in my very first home made frame of rough sawn cedar.

Not one of my 'better' photos!

I never really wanted to grow up....All I wanted was to be able to reach the cookie jar...and play with my DW 788

I think I remember Paul posting the pattern for you, thought it was good then, but you cut it well too.
