I recently sold this miter saw painting.  At 24 past 13 inches information technology's my largest tool portrait painting to date.  This miter saw was inherited by my male parent.  Information technology was given to him by his father, the grandad I never did get to meet but would have loved to.  He sounds like he was one of the nigh resourceful fellas on the planet and if he'due south annihilation like my male parent I wouldn't doubt it.

This one-time saw had and extremely tarnished saw bract, then much and so that I did clean information technology up a wee chip before painting this still life.  Non also much of course, just the right amount to give a few sparkles in the right spots!  The side with the teeth made me nervous at beginning but once I got into them I just knocked them out like a well oiled machine!  I painting the saw blade teeth in three steps.  First I masked out the border and painted it straight.  Next I painted the teeth with my tiny #1 Robert Simmons liner castor.  Lastly I painted around the teeth and cleaned them up a flake; I did this while painting the background.

Here's an extreme close upwardly on the teeth.

The varnished wooden handle had that classic saw handle shape to it.  That made for several interesting highlights.  Among the curves where many scratches and nicks in the forest.  That'south always fun to paint!  Below is a item of the painting…bank check out those scratches!
