I'm not sure what price to ask but you did a great job on the portrait. The color is a great touch.

This is an interesting site. If you look under the Historcal books section there is a catalog of Bowman patterns. It was created in 1880 but the work is in the same style as our own, the late Dirk Bowman. I wonder if there is a connection there.

Clayton, I get it through various sources but mostly through Amazon. I use to get it from Sloans but they haven't had any for over a year. I also found a source for 1/64" ply but have no use for it yet.

Aw, Ike, it's easy and fun. Make a bunch of them to give away to friends and family at Christmas.

You could also use one of these jigs: https://mcjing.com.au/categorybrowser.aspx?categoryid=1214&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1. I haven't used one and they are expensive, but if you ever get into making wheels it would be worth it.

Thanks for the kind words. I normally stack 10 and most of them take about 15 minutes to cut. For the individual names I tape the bookmark to a scrap of 1/4" ply for support.

I realized I haven't posted any pictures in a while. I have had some large orders for bookmarks (218 plus 75 plus 25 and several ones and twos). Here is one custom order request. I love making these as in less than an hour I can have 10 of them cut and sanded. These are made from 1/32" Baltic birch ply. Thanks for looking and I promise to post other things as I get time.

Hi Kelly. Best advice I have is to buy some FD blades and give them a try. It's mostly personal preference. If you don't like them try another brand. I am happy with FD blades but mostly I get great service from Mike. I also like Olsen and Pegasus. Generally speaking, I think blades are inexpensive.

Fantastic Luis!

Beautiful! It's what we expect coming from you Hans.

Super job John. All cut appear clean and the circles look great. Give yourself a pat on the back.

Yes, very nicely done.

Excellent idea! I may have to steal the idea. Lol is that your pattern?
-
Nice ob and very creative!

Well Kevin, if you were a girl your name would be Charity. Excellent job my friend.
-
Very nice. I don't think I would have the patience for it. How tall is it?
-
Your kindness will be rewarded some day Kevin. Good job and great work.

Ray, drive around after people put their trash out. You can get a lot of free wood.

I think we are all woodworkers. That is a very broad term that includes the professional cabinet maker, wood sculptors, and those that cut popcicle sticks to build a doll house. I think of a wood crafter as someone who takes wood an makes useful or decorative objects. I think that includes most of us scrollers. If you work with wood because you enjoy it but don't plan on making a living from it, I would call you a hobbyist. Therefore, I am all three.
