    Default Western Theme

    Just finished this one after lots of hair raising moments but think it turned out ok in the end. Probably something I would never sell after the time & effort spent on it.It was cut with 3/0 spirals on 6mm marine ply ,Don't like the frame its in at the moment so will look for a more suitable one.Hope you like. Cheers Peter

    My, my Peter,
    You are surely right...a whole stack of time, patience and effort has gone into this masterpiece sir and may I add, very well done too!!

    For my twopence I'd say a darker frame but I'm no decorator at all...

    If I may please, how many hours went into it??
    And how big is it please??

    You sir have certainly mastered the art of scroll sawing very well, cheers, Peter

    Thanks Peter I did not keep count of the hours but I suppose maybe 1 to 2 hours a day over a week approx 14 hours just taking my time. It fits in a A4 frame Pete

    I agree that the frame distracts from the image. After looking at it for a while the focus goes towards the frame instead of the image. I think a darker frame less shiny frame would suite.

    I can see a lot of details in the image and can see this would require a lot of patients, very well made.

    Cheers Peter.
