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.

This is very nice work Rick. Have you ever looked into marquetry?
You would excel at it.
Thanks for posting.
