THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE PAINTINGS AT THIS TIME, PLEASE CHECK BACK
We ship Priority Mail, and insure each saw for it's retail value. Each sawblade is an original oil painting, with minute details that are hard to capture in photos. Many hours are put into painting these sawblades, and often a magnifying glass is used to paint in the fine details on the wildlife. If you purchase one of these sawblades, we invite you to look closely at the wildlife thru a magnifying glass, you'll be amazed at the detail. Your satisfaction with your purchased artwork is guaranteed.
Painting the Scene:
************************
Each painting is unique, and is an original. Animals, birds, fish, weather, and scenery have been researched, plus their structure & seasonal habits have been studied to ensure the paintings authenticity. Only the best quality oil paints are used, including Grumbacher Oil Paints & Grumbacher Final Finish (non-yellowing) for a lasting beauty for years to come. We want your painting to stand the test of time. My first oil painting on a sawblade was in 1987, and it is still beautiful today. They easily wipe clean with a soft damp cloth, and should not be hung in direct sunlight. NOT FOR OUTDOOR USE.
Preparing the saw:
***********************
The process starts by removing the handle, and applying rust remover to the blade. Then the blade is sanded until 100% of the rust is gone. We then apply 2-3 coats of flat black Rustoleum paint. After the base coat dries for a day or two, the wildlife scene is painted on over the black Rustoleum in an oil medium. If the original condition of the handle isn't attractive, we'll sand it down and torch it or stain it to bring out the grain. Sometimes the handle looks very antique, and fits the scene better untouched. We remove most of the tarnish or rust from the handle hardware, by using a tarnish remover and sanding. We don't cut corners when it comes to preparing the saws, we want these paintings to last. The teeth on these saws are often still sharp, so buyer beware.
