Another for the cat lovers - no pattern

[martinka]

Spotted this today and I am guessing it would be a popular one. No pattern, but I don't see that being a problem for anyone.

Weird that I can't abide cats, yet they seem to make superb scroll saw subjects.

... and looking at the url on that pic, there are some great 'inspirations' to be had there. http://www.livemaster.ru/catswood

Shows how observant I am (not). I completely missed the url or I'd have simply given the link.

Cutting the shape is easy - but how does one get the nice rounded edge profile
all the way round, nice and uniform, without a shed-load of work?

@BugBear - wood carving gouges ....

That'd give the desired result, but it it definitely falls within my definition of a shed load of work.

Thanks for sharing guys, lots there to inspire those of us who know crazy cat ladies! And other stuff too....
Found one similar a while back with the heart shape in the top cut around and left in, and cut it just from a photo, have also cut the 'crouching cat' one in the link and even without the carving, it shows pretty well, haven't done the finishing yet, but both patterns look good when cut

Actually, looking again, that cat very much reminds me of a nice old saw handle, at least in terms
of the processes needed to make it.

You could always round it over with a small 'round-over' router bit or maybe a Dremmel (or clone) if you have a steady hand.

What is the smallest diameter bearing on a bearing-guided router bit you can get? ... or would a pin-guided bit work?

My take on the cat - scrolled and carved

 

[AJB Temple]

It beast me why so many people seem to like models of cats and pictures of cats.
