Roughout or Pattern on a "Buffalo"

#1 09-21-2003, 10:26 AM

I'm looking for a source of a good size Buffalo pattern or roughout, would like final piece to be somewhere about 8-12' in size, ....any thoughts, suggestions or comments? I've checked already at L.S.Irish & Rossiter but just didn't luck out.
Thanks in advance for your time & thoughts. Coffeeman

Coffeeman - try http://www.stillerpatterns.com .
Buffalo and bison are on page 22

If the size doesn't suit you, you can always take the pattern to a copy shop and have it enlarged or reduced.

Stiller usually has just about anything you need and their patterns are wonderful. I own every crow and dove pattern they make........'someday' :

I'm going to carve one.

I have a bunch of photos of buffalo from when we lived in colorado if that would help

Hi There,
There is a pattern for a Buffalo in the Chip Chats magazine dated July-August 1986. There's instruction included. It is cut out in 3 sections and glued together. Please email me if you would like more info.

Barb,

Thanks so much for the emailed copies of the article, I was able to print them out with no problems, I believe they will work just great. Again, thanks and I appreciate the friendship thru carving. Coffeeman

I see this is dated 2003. But if Barb or Coffeeman are still around, any chance of emailing me the buffalo chit chat article too? thanks. I am a novice at this and don't know how to email these contributors directly.

A google search for "American Bison images" produced this. Lots of photos you could check out and make a pattern from..
