    Too cute Jerry. Len

    John, both pieces look good, and the black one looks best between the two. I think if there was more contrast between the two types of wood used in the natural one, that it would look just as good as the black one. Len

    It looks good, but, if the wolf is the same shape as the original one was. Then you should be giving credit to the designer, rather than trying to take credit for it for yourself. Len

    Good save DW, I don't use spray cans of finish so your tip wouldn't help me. Thanks for posting it though, it might be helpful to others. Len

    Paul, you did an outstanding job cutting this piece out, it looks nice. But, I personally could not put it out on display to sell, it looks flawed to me. For me to sell this piece, I would either have to stain it to one color or paint it white. I'm sorry if you feel this critique is to harsh, but, it is how I see it. Len

    Way to go Monti! Len

    Nicely done Jim, they look great. Len

    Steve, nice as they may be, unfortunately you can't get much for them. At least I never could, I priced a couple of them that were smaller then yours at $20.00 each. People looked at them, and ooohed and ahhhed over them, but no one would buy them. Stick a $30.00-$40.00 dollar price tag on them, and hope for the best. Len

    Dan, that's a lot better for nighttime viewing, that's how I light up our jack-o-lantern every year. I've been doing it this way for years, it's a lot better then using candles. Len

    Dave, I've never seen better, these boxes are over the top. Your inlay skills are amazing, these boxes are something you should be proud to have your name on. Len

    Dave, it's hard to believe, but, you just keep getting better and better at this scrolling thing. This piece looks great, the recipients will be pleased I'm sure. Len

    Me too. Len

    Looks nice Roly, and it doesn't take a very big piece of wood to make one. Len

    Tony, Don got to it before me, but, I think the same as he does about the eyes. You did a great job coming up with the pattern, the recipient will be impressed for sure. Len

    Congrats Scott, you deserve the sales. Your table set-up looks nice, you have a great selection of puzzles. Len

    Where's the pictures? Len

    I agree with Larry, it would be quicker and easier to re-cut it, rather than fix it. Len

    Monti, I honestly think it is an outstanding cutting, you did well. I would put it up against some of Sue Mey's work, I think it looks like a real interesting pattern to cut. Keep up with your pattern making, you definitely know what you are doing. If I were rating this design on a 1-10 scale, I would rate it at a strong 9 very very close to a ten. Len

    Kip, I bought a good quality over sized cookie sheet, to apply finish to my fretwork. If I use BLO, I usually apply it with a brush. After the BLO has had a chance to dry, I lay the project into the cookie sheet and pour the finish of choice over the top of it. If I'm using a urethane or lacquer type of finish, I use a 80/20 mix, 80% urethane and 20% thinner. I usually coat each item two times, allowing it to dry between coatings. I usually get a glass like finish doing it this way, I mean smooth as glass not looking like glass. I didn't mention the wiping the excess off, or hanging the item to dry. I assume that people would know to do that, if not, they shouldn't be messing with the stuff. Len

    Todd, what is the material you used to make this out of, is it just plain plywood? Was there any bowing in either piece, before you glued the two together? When you did the glue-up, did you lay the project flat with weight on top of it to keep it flat? Looking at it, it looks as if the side that has had paint applied to it, is causing the bowing. You may be able to correct it by painting the back of the backer, and by adding a poly finish to the front of the piece. Don't try to use a water base finish, it has to be a poly or lacquer type. Don't apply the finish to the front or back of the item, until you have a way to clamp or hold it flat. And then, only apply the finish to one side, either the front or back, it doesn't matter which is done first. Let the finish dry until it is good and dry, then finish the other side. The main thing, is to keep it clamped flat for this to work. Len

    Nicely done Kevin. Len

    Roly, it's a cute little cutting, what's it like to cut bamboo? Is it hard on blades, what type of blades do you use to cut it with? Len
  23. Lucky2
    Nicely done Todd, do you sell many hockey signs? Len
  24. Lucky2
    Nicely done Earl, and it's in the proper location. You obviously are proud of it, so you should brag on it. And seeing as how this is the bragging section, you placed it properly. Len

    Bobby, both pieces look nice, you did well. Len
