  1. great looking shop. clean and organized as well
  2. excellent work. I really like the heart/rose cutting.
  3. thanks for all the comments.
  4. I am lucky to have a shop a few miles away that makes custom trim. they stock around 60 domestic woods as well as some exotic woods. I have become real good friends with them, so they are the first place I check when looking for some "new" wood species. I buy 95% of my lumber from them.
  5. this is the rooster (fro my gallery) for the second gift. The new one I just made is the same woods except I used regular maple in place of the ambrosia maple.
  6. Dan the eyes, claws, and beak are all made from Wenge
  7. thanks for all the comments. Roly, no I don't have a tooth fairy. that would be kinda funny together.
  8. Here are my hunting knives. The handles are all made from different woods, and the blade is 2 pieces of 1/8" maple glued together. the handles are made from - pheasant- culry maple, wenge, aromatic red cedar, and box elder deer - ash, yellow heart, aromatic red cedar, and box elder buffalo - oak, wenge, aromatic red cedar, and box elder They are about 18 1/2" long
  9. great looking box.
  10. thanks for the info.
  11. Hi Harold, welcome to the village.
  12. excellent job.
  13. looks like it works well, and it looks great.
  14. looks great DW. Does the bees wax come as a liquid? I've only seen it as a block/ stick.
  15. great job. they all look good.
  16. spend more time in the shop than you do in your home.
  17. I use padauk a lot in my intarsia and don't have any trouble with it burning. I use flying Dutchman # 5 & 7 reverse tooth blades. I change blades fairly often, it helps when cutting the harder woods
  18. that looks great. I really like the 3D effect
  19. excellent job. I'm sure the lady will love it.
  20. I never used glass I always made my own frames. but after going to a art/craft show a scroller was selling all his in frames with glass, and the looked much better to me. more professional, so that's what I started doing. And it keeps the cuts from collecting dust
  21. that is just beautiful.
  22. My last Christmas intarsia order. my daughter wanted this for a gift for the dentist she works for. made from - aspen, oak, walnut, and honey locus.
  23. here is my latest intarsia. a barn owl. This is half of the order for my friend in Tennessee "my mini vacation". the owl is made from - aspen, elm (reclaimed barn wood), walnut, sycamore, and wenge. All natural no paints or stains used. the other project is the rooster weather vain. there is already one of them in my gallery. I just changed the woods a little. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/gallery/image/3934-barn-owl/
  24. can't wait to see it. those are some nice looking walnut boards.
  25. great job on all, I really like the home of the free one. thanks for sharing
