Another for the cat lovers - no pattern

[Chippygeoff]

I to have made quite a few of these cats. I sell them at the craft fairs. I put a base on them to make them more stable. I use a small rounding over router bit from Trend, it has a 4mm roller guide and is perfect for this sort of thing giving a nice uniform round edge to the outside and the inside cuts.

This has a laminated Walnut base
Cat is Walnut outside with glued Oak in the sandwich; height 7.5 inches

I made 3 from wood I got from British Hardwoods waste bin last year
One is here at home, one in Darcey Lever; the third was exported to Ontario Canada

I remember a recent post saying these tribal kitty brushes would make good scroll saw patterns, so here goes.

These were originally Photoshop brushes created by Roxo89 on Deviantart. I contacted her about 3 years ago and asked for permission to use them as scroll saw patterns and she gave me the OK. I see two of them are patterns on a scroll saw website for $5 apiece. :? Here's an early version of the one with the crown.

Thanks for adding the credit, Martin.

Here's my attempt, made for a cat lover at work who's just started chemo lately and is struggling. I wish her well.

My first attempt at using a router so forgive me for my sins! Also my first attempt at using a sealant and a hard wax.

Looks good to me.

My first attempt with a router was my last.

Thanks for all these Gents. I'm currently refurbishing my old Einhell saw to give to a girlfriend of my wife's who's currently going through a bit of a bad patch (but not as bad as chemo though). When finished with the saw (I'm trying to take the worst problems out of it) I'll do one of these cats as a test of the saw/extra present for her as she's a cat fan.

Thanks all.
