Wayne, they look amazing, the different types of wood makes a big difference in how they look. It's a rather ingenious use of scrap wood, and I can see where hey would be real popular. Len
-
Nicely done Andrew, you sure captured the look. Len
-
Nicely done Terry, will you be using them as gifts, or will you be selling them? Len
-
Brian, it looks to be pretty much the same menagerie of critters as we have around here, bout the only difference would be the wild hogs and rattlers. That's an awfully nice looking puzzle,The recipient should be more then pleased with this outcome. Len

Jim, I don't know if it's a deal or not, but Rockler's had the 788 on sale for $499.00. If I was interested in a Dewalt, I would check to see if that's a deal.But since I'm not, I won't bother looking it up. Len

Nicely done Pete, they'll love it. Len

lol Dan, when I first looked art it I wondered why you cut it this way, I cut mine the opposite of what you did Yours looks nice though. I don't think it really matters which way you cut it out, as long as your happy with it that's all that matters. I don't remember right of hand if you sell any of your work, if you do, you should take this piece with you just for show. If you do, you'll be amazed at how many question on how you made it. People who aren't scrollers, just can't seem to get their heads around how these are made. Over the years, I've sold about twenty of them, I charge $7.00 for the piece of wood, and then I charge $5.00 per letter. So the one you have pictured here would cost $52.00, that may seem to be a bit high in price. But, these things aren't all that easy to make. They're tedious and friggy, and if the blade doesn't stay straight while cutting you will have to start all over again. Len

Nicely done Dan, it looks real nice. Len

Nice idea Monti, they should look very nice when put in place. Len

The ones I've made in the past,were made out of 1/32" to !/16" stock. I make my own thin plywood to make the bookmarks out of, plus I use this thin plywood for fretwork ornaments also. It's been a while since I've made any ornaments or plywood, there's been no need to make any since I can't see well enough to do any cutting. T had cataract surgery done on my eyes four years ago, ever since then I've had double vision in one eye. Having double vision in my predominant eye, makes it very difficult to use the saw. I've tried using the saw numerous times, but it was just to hard to follow a line. Len
-
Tom, I'm sorry for your loss, her children will cherish these ornaments forever. Len

Happy Thanksgiving, and safe travels to all my American friends be careful on the roads. Len

NO, you do not want to use poplar wood for a countertop, it should not be used anywhere where there is moisture. Poplar wood turns black when it gets wet, and it rots very quickly. I would like to know where you get poplar that is as soft as pine, yes it's soft, but not as soft as pine. Not as soft as the pine I use anyway, but it could be softer then other types of pine. All I use for pine stock, is white pine and it is soft. Poplar isn't a good type of wood to try to apply a finish to, it has a tendency to be blotchey when finished. Len

Sam, it depends on how I apply it, I usually do wipe the excess off though. I lay any projects that I can fit inside and below the edges of a cookie sheet, then I slowly pour the danish oil over it. There's no choice, but to wipe the project off after pouring the finish on. If I spray the danish oil on, there's no excess so I don't have to wipe the project off. My main reason for dipping the projects, is that I mostly do fretwork and I like to have finish applied to the inside cuts. I really don't like the look of a piece of fretwork, when there is no finish on the inside cuts. The bare wood on inside cuts, makes the project look unfinished to me. Len
-
Very nice Todd, I like both pieces. Len
-
I love it Jeff, it's an outstanding cutting. Len
-
Scott, your having great luck selling your puzzles, hopefully the next day is as successful. Len
-
Outstanding piece. Len
-
Impressive. Len

Way to go Brad, you and your fellow woodworkers are to be commended for doing this each year. Doing this should bring lots of smiles to the kids faces, that alone has got to make you feel good. All that you've posted here for pictures looks really nice, and I like the idea of those puzzles being made out of 2x stock. They shouldn't be as easy to break, as the 3/4" stock ones are. Len
-
No Paul, I didn't mean for him, I meant for us scrollers. Len
-
Way to go Munz, it look awfully nice. Len
-
Way to go DW, the colour really changes how it looks. Len
-
Ralph, if it looks better in real life, it's got to be one fine looking cutting board. It looks awful nice in the picture, so I can only imagine how good it really looks. Oh yeah, that's a tidy bit of inlay work. Len
-
Nicely done Paul, it would be nice if it had scrolling saws or tools on it. Len
