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.

Nice work! I hope you fishing partner is not you hunting partner, too. lol

Thanks everyone. I put the pattern on last year and every part that was uncovered got a sunbath. Hehe. Dick, I think I did post the photo then the pattern. If I were to use the oattern again I would not cut the area below the tail.

I love both of them, with and without color. You did a fantastic job. Keep up the great work.

I started this about one year ago then it sat until last month. I took a picture of the hawk in my brother's backyard, converted it to a pattern, then put it on wood. The wood is cherry. The flaw is a knot that was originally in the board. It's finished with satin polyurethane. I did torch the edges to give is some sort of framing. Most of it was cut with a FD-#1UR and some with a #1 spiral. I did notice some fading of the wood after I removed the pattern. Learned a lesson there.

Great job. I want to know how you hot Roly's wife to pose for such a long time. Lol

Kevin, with all thescrolling you bust out, you should use a treddle-powered saw. You would then weigh 120 lbs. Great work old boy, keep it up.

Hey Nick, Can you post the picture here? I don't have a facebook account and I can't view the picture without an account. Thanks.

Just curious...does the dust/shavings from Plexiglass stick to you because of static? If so, has anyone tried wiping down their arms, legs, and face with a fabric softener sheet? I know a lot of folks use it on their face shield to cut down on dust particle accumulation. I use a shop vac to clean off after cutting Plexiglass.
-
So Kevin, what was the outcome? Did it work? Inquiring minds want to know.
-
Well done! Very crisp and clean. I can see those being heirlooms.
-
Well Luis, the only suggestion I have is...don't be so hard on yourself. That looks fantastic! I love the rearing horse, the details are well balanced, and your selection of wood for the project is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing.
-
Hmmm, Lexan isn't wood so I wouldn't chance it. I know you will try it and that will be an educational experience to share. If we don't hear from you soon I'll call 911.

Excellent Ron! The black mat and frame really bring out the design.
-
Super job Jim! Would look great above the mantle or in the man cave. Kudos to Don for the design.

This pattern is from SSWC magazine by Alison Tanner. I haven't decorated for Halloween in many years so I decided to start this year and this is a nice piece to get me started. I hope to do a larger one to put in the front yard, but I would have to cut it with a jigsaw.

I assume you are cutting from a log. I usually cut boaeds 2" thick, seal the ends and let them sit a year or two. I have an el cheapo moisture meter and check every now and then. Some woods will dry much faster than others. And, depending on the species and how it was cut, the board will twist, cup, and bend a bit. My 2" board yields a 1" to 1.75" board after planing. I sometimes will buy 8/4 lumber and resaw to get more for my money. Of course, if you figure the time it takes to reaaw and surface the board you may not save much $$ but it is satisfying to do.

Roly, don't forget to save any leftover pieces to use in the smoker. It's great for smoking baby back ribs and jerky.

Outstanding Bendita! Bueno.
