Thread: Great Dane

Looks good Pete. Nice work.
Definitely captures the 'Great Dane' look.

Was it from a commercial pattern, or your own design?
(More brownie points if it's your own.)

My one and only criticism is that the cuts could have done with a little sanding to clean them up.

Edit: I use ice cream sticks or other small curved-profile sticks with W&D paper stuck on with DS tape to get into the trickier bits. Also, miniature needle files are handy for the really tight spots.

Looks good to me Peter... You're certainly getting into the scrollsaw work.. Cheers, crowie

I'm not capable of taking a photo and converting it into a black & white pattern like that. Well done.

And don't be too concerned about my comment on the sanding. It's a very minor point. You have to look pretty closely to see it.

You certainly captured the doleful look of th Dane very well Peter!!!
