Looks great. Can I just ask how you did the hair? Is it 2 types of ebonised wood? Matt and Shiny? Or just 2 shades?

Thanks
Sean

I think it's just the light reflection on the shape.

 

[bobman]

Thanks Sean I think novocaine is right it's just the reflection the hair was cut from one piece of wood ebonised and sprayed with satin spray varnish.

 

[Blacklabradorman]

Thank you both, great effect bobman!

Hi to everybody on this Scroll saw forum .This is my first posting and i,m just blown away with the workmanship ,the multivaried projects ive seen .Absolutely beautiful. I,ve been trolling through several of the forums here and i have to say this forum has done it for me. ive some knowledge of general woodworking having served my apprenticeship as a joiner. Until now i never heard of scroll sawing ?. Fretwork i have seen on many pieces of antique furniture, but considered out of my league until now . I,m hoping to obtain a fretsaw or scroll sawing machine but am confused where or which one to start this fascinating hobby or craft. Thanks for inviting me to your Wonderful world of Scroll sawing .

Welcome to the forum, you have certainly come to the correct place for sound scroll saw advice.

Fret saw, Scroll saw, the same thing, Fret English name, Scroll American name.

As for a Scroll saw make, advice, you don’t say what your budget is. But if your budget will stretch to it then you will not do better than a Hegner.

Take care.

Sorry for the little drift from original topic.
