I made this Intarsia from a pattern designed by Christine & Wayne Prinn. It's a modified version of their original. I hope you like it.

Your attention to detail is truly amazing. I never get tired of seeing your work. It's like being in an art gallery.

I created this plaque from my first attempt at making a pattern using Inkscape. Please ignore the fox intarsia he just happens to be occupying the same wall space.

Dw, I modeled the project based on a picture I saw on Pinterest. I used CAD design to create the scroll work to my own personal taste and then was able to produce the patterns. I did, however, use my wood lathe to turn the spindles on the front. The back (not visible) contains a barn door style window which gives me access to the inside for cleaning.

So, I guess you could say the picture provided the inspiration, but the design is mine. Thanks for asking!

I wasn't able to complete the entire project solely with my scrollsaw, but the majority of it was. Anyway, I just wanted to share and get some opinions.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Sheila Landry Patterns

« on: August 25, 2016, 07:54:18 pm »

I bought my first set of patterns from Sheila today and after receiving them via email I was totally amazed. In today's climate when it seems that quality has taken a back seat to price she takes an opposite approach. She is very meticulous when it comes to pattern design and she strives for customer satisfaction. If you've never cut out a pattern before Sheila includes instructions with each pattern to walk you through the process, you won't be scratching your head wondering what to do next. Honestly, when is the last time when you have dealt with a business that left you feeling like they really care about your satisfaction. If you have never bought from Sheila before you owe it to yourself to take a look I don't think you'll be disappointed, I sure wasn't. I just think it is important to acknowledge those people who obviously care about what they do and as scrollers make our lives so much more enjoyable. We don't have to reinvent the wheel because on her website she has something for every personal taste. It's one stop shopping!
