I just dusted off "Ole Yellow" - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

oops99 · 11-02-2009, 07:46 AM

I just got an order for a scroll sawn portrait x2.
I hardly use my SS anymore latley, so it was nice to blow the dust off it.
The pic is of Jeanne Jugan, she was a Nun who is going to be made a Saint. The customer is a freind of mine who went to "Nun School" for lack of a better word (I'm not sure what it's called) with the subject in the portrait.
I've done some portraits in the past, but this is the first one that I made that has some nice details in it.

I hope you like it.

All comments welcome.

Tom,
Your work just goes to show that scrolling and bicycle riding have something in common. You just got to do it and it comes right back to you. That's a great portrait. It doesn't take much more than a willingness and something beautiful comes out of it.

Your friend has a very good friend.
