Project Information
This is a scroll-saw painting of Marvin Gaye.I made this pattern from a real picture using Adobe Photoshop.I used Olson no.2 skip-tooth blades for all the cuts.This project measures 20"x24" and is cut on 1/2" birch ply.I used a mix of different dyes/stains for color.The reason I use dyes/stains because they still let the wood grain to show through.I used Gorilla glue for glue down. Under clamps for 24 hrs Gorilla glue has a strong bond.This project took 8hrs. in cut time.The frame raises the scroll-saw painting off the wall 2 1/4" off the wall.I also cut biscuits into the corners of the frame.This project is hanging at my studio space at the Factory Art Studios in Sullivan,IL.
