Ramo Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Since this new area has been created for recreations, I thought I'd add this. It isn't much compared to a lot of the artwork that is here, but I thought I'd add it to show that even someone with just the smallest bit of artistic ability can do. Here are the 10 easy steps I used. 1. Find a cool fossil. (the 2nd most difficult part) 2. Prep out each bone. (the most difficult part) 3. Trace each bone on paper. 4. Cut out paper patterns, and make duplicates for the opposite side of the skull if missing. 5. Trace each pattern onto 3/4 inch pine. 6. Cut out pine on band saw. 7. Use dremmel tool with sander to add a little shape to "bones". 8. Stain all parts. 9. Glue together. 10. Sand and touch up stain.

squali Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Ramo, your kidding right? That's like a hundred hours of artistically focused work. The finish really compliments the piece. Thanks for the 10 easy steps It's hard to remember why you drained the swamp when your surrounded by alligators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
