GSD Pattern Request - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

KiltedGunn · 10-18-2009, 04:03 PM

A friend in VA recenlty lost his K-9 to illness. Whenever I hear of a K-9 going down, I usually send a standing puzzle with the dog's name on it (ala Jim Sweet but using my own patterns) but this is a friend and he's requested a portrait.

Attached are the two pics I like if someone is willing to help me out with a pattern. I'm only looking for a headstudy so the one of Mako on the haybale would be best if reduced to his head only. To me, that's the better pic, but opinions vary. ;-)

Thanks in advance for all of you pattern makers help and generosity!

If you can scan in those photos MUCH larger (as large as possible) I'll see what I can do. Email to: artistic_cowboy30@yahoo.com The size they show now are way too small for me to work with.

What an amazing pattern. Nice job!

Charlie, that's freakin AWESOME! Thank you!

I have three of my own K-9's on the mantle with intentions to make wooden box urns for them with portraits on the front, which I'm determined to do myself! I can only hope to do them as much justice as you have done for K-9 Mako!

Again, thank you very much! And I'll post the finished product when I get it done. Thx, Lee
