    Ray, I'm sorry, but it's almost impossible to help you out with this request. We would at the bare minimum, need to know the type and thickness of veneer you require? We might be able to help a bit, if you had posted a couple of pics of what you're looking for. With pics, we should at least be able to figure out the grain. Personally, I have nine different types of veneers on hand, and you are welcome to some of it if it's what you need. But the veneers that I work with, are only about 1/16" thick, and in varying widths. Let me know if it will work for you, along with what type and how much you need. And I'll dig it out for you, and get you the price for postage to get it there. Len

    Tom, they're very nice looking cuttings, and I imagine they were fairly tough to complete. I can see them, but not all that well. What did you take the pics with, there seems to be a fog over the pics. Len

    Pete, you do some amazing work, and these four pieces are perfect examples of that work. I do have one issue with a couple of these pieces though, and it's the eyes. The eyes of the horse and the two rotweillers, being so dark don't look right to me. Len

    I usually check out the notifications section along with checking to see if I have gotten any e-mails first, then I go on to the general section. From there, I move on to bragging an then on down the line. There is a couple of sections that don't really interest me, and I just pass them by. I used to feel guilty for passing on a couple of sections, but I got over the feeling because as I mentioned they just don't interest me. In the sections I read, I do read all of the replies. I usually spend well over an hour on here daily, and I never miss viewing the site daily. Len

    Jim, I believe it's just a characteristic of certain poplar trees, it's not something that can be counted on occurring in each tree. That's what makes it so hard to find or scarce, it's not a product that can be regularly counted on getting in quantity. Len

    lol Doug, I checked to see where these guys were living, when I saw where, I thought the exact same thing as you did. I'd hate for them to have been around here for the last week and a half, the temps weren't above -20 feel like temps. For tomorrow and friday, were supposed to get hit with a weather bomb. Extremely high winds, and over twenty inches of snow is what we expect to get from this storm. The storm is being classified as a winter hurricane, it's supposed to be a pretty harsh storm. Len

    Keep on cutting Iggy, these puzzles are quite the boost to your overall income. So I can well understand you starting to cut, so early into the new year. Len

    Wayne, I don't see anything illusional about it, but I do like how it looks. Len

    Way to go Wayne, it looks to be a fairly easy cut, then you actually try cutting it out. That's when you find out, that it's not quite as easy as it looks like it would be. Len

    Oh yeah Tyrone, welcome to the Village. Len

    Tyrone, I run the grain in either direction on portrait type cuttings. For me, it all depends on how the piece is to be framed. If the cutting is to be framed so that the long side of the frame is on the left or right hand side of the piece, then the grain usually runs up and down. If the cutting is to be framed so that the long side of the frame is going to be positioned on the top or bottom of the piece, then the grain usually runs from side to side. Now you should have noticed that I used the word usually in my explanation, the reason for that is that there is NO steadfast rules on how the grain has to run. It can depend on many things, one of which is the person doing the cutting. And the pattern itself could be a major factor in determining grain direction, some just don't fit within the norms. Len

    Google could be your best friend, especially for something like this. Len

    Rocky, is there no way you could use wood heat? That's what I use, it's a great heat source. The only drawback to using wood, is waiting for the shop to warm up initially. I burn mostly scrap wood, I never bought any wood to burn in over five years. With a couple of blow downs in the yard and scraps, I have plenty of wood to burn. And if I had to buy firewood I would buy it without thinking twice about it. It is a just an extra expense, related to my woodworking. And I don't mind an expense, that allows me to do woodworking to make money off of. Len

    Dan, it's another great idea, I should make a couple. Len

    Nicely done Monti, it looks like the Ampersand was made just for that purpose. Len

    Nicely done Jim, do you think the halo will stay on it, if it is used as a toy? Len
