Three pictures cut from 200mm x 250mm, 6mm oak veneered mdf in home made simple pine frames, just to show them on the stand.

Really nice work Steve, I haven't used my scrollsaw for years.

I wouldn't display them in those frames though as rather distracts from and spoils the work IMHO

Thanks for the comments guys,
Bob, to be honest the frames look a lot better than in the photos, I've found that they show better in a frame than without, the simpler the better, on the stand most people don't take too much notice of the frames only to say how much without it or I have one that'll fit at home what size is it?
Only been at it 20 years Terry same as turning but I like scrolling better, I find it very therapeutic.
happy scrolling

Minimal penguins heaps of fun, exciting horse thats what they do, the giraffe incredible like the frames the images are so strong the frames as you say finish them off we mortals understand its easier to hang, makes logical sense. My wife is a horse lover cute penguins excite and the ever so real giraffe, impressive trio. Our Zoo here allows up close and in front experiences with the Giraffes they have set up numerous cabins for overnight stays where Lions etc are just the other side of glass windows we just applied in a competition for an overnight stay. Real change of underwear experiences.

Wasn't meant as criticism Steve just in the photos my eye was drawn to the missing knots in the frames.
the pony is my favourite btw.

That's prompted me a bit, must make my granddaughter a jigsaw! :thinks:

Bob no worries, that's why I posted them for comments good or bad but I think I will change that frame on the horse even if the boss never noticed, she just loved the horse.

They look really good Steve . You certainly have bags of talent and I would think barrow loads of patience to produce art work like that
