Scroll Saw Realistic Faces and Skin Tones (No Staining!)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

It’s pretty easy to make scroll saw art using contrasting wood colors, but what if you want a realistic picture? How do you make realistic faces, skin tones, and other artistic effects using wood? The key isn’t using wood species with contrasting colors. It’s about finding just the right variations of the same wood color. In this scroll saw project I wanted to make this insanely cool picture of a gorilla wearing a hoodie. Basically, the entire picture is made up of variations of browns. That’s not anything new for scroll sawing, but the difference in this case was trying to make the scroll saw art flow gradually from one color to the next, giving a 3D effect and making the skin tones look realistic, even though they are made from wood.
The scroll saw tips and tricks I used can be utilized in just about any woodworking project. Take your time to select the right wood species with the colors you want. Spend a lot of time planning before ever cutting. The results are clear - amazing wood scroll saw art that leaps off the canvas!

    I love it! It’s fascinating how it all comes together. I still haven’t figured out how to know what to cut and what color, etc. but I’d love to see you do roses or a flower of some kind that’s obviously not too colorful, only so many species with color but I’d love to see what you’d pick and the design, etc. btw lignum vite isn’t the only green wood, poplar can have purples and greens, I build a cheeseboard where the bottom border pattern I used purple poplar (it’s was vibrant purple too) that had marbling in the end grain… I but finish on it or oil and it became this deep, dark green! Stunning and totally unexpected

    I'll try to do a few tips and tricks videos on those topics. Poplar is a sirens call of a wood. It has amazing colors. I've also had those colors turn brown over time. My picture of Poison Ivy (flowers too!) had a green poplar background and it's now a brown background. I didn't film it unfortunately. I'm always up for more poplar tests though.
