Presidents' Day - a great man to the end.
« 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.
EX-21 arrived 2-1-2013!

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

One of our best presidents, at least in my opinion.  Thanks for sharing the pattern and nice work on the cutting.
