Animals
Some of the animal portraits I completed recently and entered in the Bribie & District Woodcrafters annual Competition, Thought I'd brag a little! Achieved 1st,2nd,and 3rd in Advanced Section of Scrollsaw.
Sorry the last two are a bit blurry!

I can understand why you got the 1st 2nd and 3rd but personally I would have given you 3 1st's. Great work.

tIGER
Thanks for the comments. Yep, all cut out of one piece of timber, individually stained, then glued together at different levels to get the 3D effect. Have done several other animals, but they were sold! Now have to make some more, but it's an excuse to be "out in the shed"!

Wow what excellent work, so fine.
I'm still struggling to learn to cut large piece jigsaws for little people.
Well done, thank you for sharing your prize winning efforts.

Beautiful work!!!
You take a slightly different approach to our Turkish mate Seyit. He uses no colour.
I like both approaches.

Great work. Have looked at that sort of work before. Maybe I should give it a go. Where did you get the plans from?

Plans
Thanks, everyone. I got the plans from a Fox Chapel Publishing book titled "Animal Portraits in Wood" by Neal Moore, published 2006. ISBN-13:978-1-56523-293-8. For some reason it has another ISBN-10: 1-56523-293-3.
it contains 16 portraits, very well written and explained in detail....even I could understand it! I purchased my copy at the Brisbane Working With Wood Show last year.
