Dogwood

Western Partners... and some.
I've been working to finish these two western pieces for a sale this coming weekend. They were both double stack cut and while one of the attached photos shows it is finished natural, the other is finished with ipswich. They have their mates but I wanted to show the difference between the two. They are cut on Baltic Birch with Birch backers stained ebony. The frames are knotty pine cut to size. The pieces are coated with several coats of gloss polyacrylic and the frames are done with satin. The
Foot Dr Visit
There is a small trend of doctors offices that like little trinkets. So I had a foot doctor visit today and made a foot drawer. This I guess is part of a micro drawer series? She the Dr. loved it. The nurse assistant liked it also. So I guess I need to make 4 more. Started with 2"x2"x12" which ends up at 1.5" x1.5" and it fits in 4.5" long. Wood type is Mrytle. Finish is Arm R Seal. She did not say how she is gonna use it. She says it will be on her desk.

I'm working on an article and one of the sections is about getting away from the saw to reset. I'm curious, how long will you sit at the scroll saw (actively cutting) at a time before you get up and away from the saw for a bit.

Usually sanding, prepping the materials, or drilling holes, etc. It might be
Not A Big Fan Of Veining...
Wasn't going to cut this pattern because of the veining... I can mess up on some things and have sand paper bail me out but you pretty much have to get it right since there's no do overs. When I was cutting the hairline the blade was stuck when it was done so I cut it off rather than trying to back it out. All in all it wasn't too bad but the letters could have been better. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to add stain, wipe on poly or something else since the ply looks too light and plai
I have returned and started my own business
I started as a member here a couple of years ago and then stopped visiting while I built out my new shop here at the house in 2022. The build process finally ended back in October 2023 and I decided then to start my own business (Timeless Sawdust Memories LLC). With that said, I sold a couple of music signs made from Steve Goode's patterns and a few more from a military book i purchased. I am trying to teach myself how to use Inkscape through the YouTube videos out there but it has been a
