    Dick, it looks alright to me, but, if it doesn't in yours it is an easy fix. If it was a piece that I did, I would just scroll it out of there on my saw. And if I didn't fix it that way, there's two types of fixes I can still think of. Another way to fix it, would be to use a router and router it down below the surface, and put a new piece in there to it the way you want it too. But before putting the new piece in place, do the printing and finish work on it. Good luck. Len P.S. Before I ever do any printing or markings on a piece of wood, I always coat the piece with shellac or thinned Varathane. Then, if I make an error when printing, it doesn't ruin the piece because the mistake or error can be removed.

    Jess, thanks for the perfect explanation and picture, I stand corrected, and am sorry to have brought the issue up. Len

    I like how you make your frames, they're like a frame within a frame, I must try that some time. Isn't there only supposed to be three crosses in the scene of the Crucifixion, that's all I've ever seen in pics of it in bibles and other places. Trying to not get to religious here, but Jesus was crucified between two thieves. Len

    Frank, what about using the sky, or a yellow the same as the stars? If it was me making them, I would use a darker or mid tone of wood like mahogany for the top layer, and paint the backer as it is now. Then if you wanted to, you could cut cheers or whatever you want at the bottom on the front layer. And if you do cut something out, paint that with a mid or lighter blue then the backer is. Len

    Jes, just because the tabs don't hold it together, doesn't mean you should give up on it, grab some glue and glue it together. It would still look nice glued back together, and sitting on a shelf. Len

    Jeff, you did an amazing job on this memorial cutting, and the piece of wood you used is beyond special. That will make this piece, even more special to the owner. Len

    Hey Jes, for the small tabs, you could change the shape of them. If they were more round, they shouldn't pull or fall apart on you. Len

    new cuts

    Nicely done Jim, like most, I like the bird on the facet best, it's a pattern that I would like to cut. Len

    Kris, a very impressive pattern and cutting, way to go. Len

    Scott, thanks for the explanation, I am aware of Alex's patterns, but with the way this was posted, I just didn't clue in. If it had been posted that it was a layer or scrap from the cutting, I would have known what was meant by the posting. Len

    Sometimes, and just sometimes, some of these companies will pick some poor schmuck trying to make a few dollars off of their copyright out of the crowd just to teach other's a lesson. And when they do this, they take them to court to sue them. The only reason that they do this, is to teach everyone a lesson. The lesson? Don't mess with our trademark/copyrighted items, they are ours and we don't want to share them. Now I don't know if this is true or not, but a lawyer told me that this is how it works. Charge one, scare most other's once the word gets out about the charges. Len

    Please excuse me Pete, but what has cutting the deer pattern from Alex Fox, got to do with the piece you posted a pic of? I could understand your posting if you posted a pic of the deer, but not by what you posted? Len

    Another thing that helps prevent cupping of the boards you buy, is to store them with weight stacked on top of it. And sometimes, I even store some pieces that I'm working on with weight on top of it. Especially, if I won't be getting back to the project for a while, I find oak to be the worst for cupping. Len

    If not stack cutting thin stock, rather than wasting stock for a backer. I usually turn the speed way up, and then cut with a lower numbered blade like a #2/0 or #1. If it is happens often enough on you, you may have to install the material hold down foot back onto your saw. Len

    Any wood I purchase off of the internet even from wood dealers, unless to large I store in clear plastic garbage bags. This works great for me, especially, with all of the thin veneer I purchase. It used to bow so much it looked like a rippled potato chip, but not since I started storing it in plastic bags. Len

    Personally, I find that 3M77 to sticky, it's to hard to remove the pattern after cutting the project out. And that's even with using, paint thinner or any other item to help remove the pattern. I prefer to use Elmer's brand of glue, I pay around $8.00 per can if not on sale. I can remove the pattern much easier when I use Elmer's spray glue, usually, I can remove the pattern without any paint remover or anything else. Len

    I agree with Jim Ern,it's your first cutting, "hang it on the wall". It will be something to gauge how much and fast you improve, but always leave it hanging there, so that you know where you started from. Len

    Nicely done Barb, both pieces look fantastic, who wouldn't be pleased to own either little lone both of them. Len.

    David, it is very nice to have you back scroll cutting once again, you do such an awesome job on all that you make. It would be a real shame for you, to not use your God-given talents. Especially, when one is as talented as you are, very happy to have you back. Len

    Nicely done Dick, and I'm not talking about the beautiful cross you cut. It's heartwarming to read about you and your wife, with just reading your posting, I can tell how much you are in love with each other. You two, are both very lucky to have found each other, and even luckier to not have the love affair peter out. Hopefully, the two of you will have many more happy years together. Take care my friend, you are truly blessed. Len

    David, my condolences on the passing of your wife, how long were you two together? I am so sorry for the pain you'v gone through, and the pain you are still going through. You took some time away from scrolling, it doesn't show in the quality of your work. These pieces are gorgeous, you did a masterful job on each piece. It's nice to see you back at it, hopefully, doing some of this will help you heal, and get on with your life. Take care. Len

    Nice cutting, it looks good hanging on that wall, how large is it? Len
  23. Lucky2
    I always stack cut this type of cutting, it not only gives your more pieces, it will be sure to give you at least one sell, once your wife sees it. Len

    I built one from a kit, but I don't use t much. But, for all that I've used it over the years since building it, it was nothing but a waste of time and money. It does work good, I just don't have much use for it. Len

    Yes Brenda, that's a human, and what a human she is!! I would dearly love to come acrossed a human like her, maybe I could get her to pose for me to make patterns off of. Len
