Irish Setter Ornament

For my next project, I created an ornament using the Irish Setter silhouette I created for the Welcome sign.  The setter silhouette was cut out of a Basswood round with the bark still attached.  The ornament is approximately 4" in diameter and about 5/8" deep.  Once complete with the setter cut, I drilled a hole through the top of the ornament and added a piece of jute to hang the ornament.  Afterwards several light coats of shellac were applied and a black felt backer was added to make the setter cut pop.

The ornament could be customized with a woodburned kennel name, dog name, and / or the year to give it a more personal touch.

Here's a side view of the ornament to show the depth of the cut:

Irish Setter Welcome Sign

Following along with the previous post: Irish Setter Leash Holder, my next project was to create a 'Welcome' sign.  For this project, I used the same pattern - but instead of leaving the bone solid, I added the word 'Welcome'.  The could also be made into a kennel sign, as the word 'Welcome' could easily be replaced with a kennel name.

Like before, I created the product out of 3/8" plywood and stained it red mahogany.  It was then coated with several coats of polyurethane.  The final product is ~11" x 9.5".

Stay tuned - this item is coming for sale on etsy soon!

An Irish Setter Leash Holder

A while back, I was looking for Irish Setter scrollsaw patterns on the internet and wasn't coming up with much. Nearly all of the patterns that I was able to find were either of very generic setters or were field setters. One of the few patterns that came up online from a scroller known as Arpop. It was a dog bone with a field setter silhouette on top. I wasn't a fan of the field setter design, so I adapted it to be a silhouette of a confirmation setter.  Within the bone, I added 4 small hooks and added a wall hanger on the back so that the design could be used as a leash holder.
