Update on the Jaguar - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

lobudugas · 06-08-2012, 02:54 AM

Hello Folks

Love reading about everyone's project. I thought that it would be a good time to do a progress report on my ongoing project which has been on and off for over 8 months now. I am building my own version of Kathy Wise' Jaguar on a branch. Her pattern is really good but only covers the actual jaguar and the branch. The rest is left to your imagination.

Here are some pictures:

1- The custom frame along with the branch and the back legs
2- The body completed along with some of the experimental foliage
3- A close-up of the frog sitting on a branch looking at the jaguar
4- A dry fit of the face under construction

This project is far from over. I plan to add a LOT of vegetation details around the jaguar along with some interesting animals much like what Kathy did.

I will keep you all posted on the progress.

It is so cool to see the many steps you have demonstrated in the series of photos. I swear I can hear that big kitty purring. Please keep up with the updates, I look forward to seeing the finished project. Thanks for sharing.

It's a masterpiece, Alain! Beautiful work indeed! Putting this piece in a frame works very, very well.

Wowza that project is going to be hit out of the ballpark for sure......thanks for taking us along for the ride. Eager to see more.

Amazing detail and great shaping and fitting. The cat, itself, is wonderful. If you add other animals in detail, the it goes from great to masterpiece class.

Marvelous work.

This intarsia is coming along very well. I thought Kathy Wise's Leopard is a fantastic intarsia technically, but I also felt that from a graphic viewpoint it might have had more impact with somewhat less detail. Sometimes less is more. This is strictly my personal opinion and in no way diminishes my respect and admiration of Kathy's artistry and work.
