Finally done !!

[sawduster]

Thanx for the kind words everyone, I am very happy to have the bulk of this one behind me :eusa_danc

Fred,
I found the knocking to be less noisy and bothersome at higher speeds so I am currently just sawing at higher speeds :eusa_whis.....that counts as fixed , right ?

In response to other questions, I use Paint Shop Pro for the initial processing of the photo. Then using a graphics pad I clean up , bridge, and hand draw most of the details and design elements . I often further enhance with a pencil and white out. I also make adjustments as I cut when I encounter problematic areas I didn't see before. When I am finished with this piece I will have about 20 hours total in it and it will sell for between $125 and $150 as it is 11 x 14 and contains 5 subjects

Thanx again for the encouragement everyone ...this site ROX !! :headbang:

Robert you deserve much more than barely over minimum wage($6.15) for your work. You're an artist. I know the right price you sell something at is what the market can handle, but don't sell yourself short. Or start scrollin' faster :lol::lol::lol::lol:
