my 2 cents worth here, i just did a piece of the beatles on abbey road, it was 18 inches long 6 inches wide, and i have a 16 in craftsman, when i was cutting the ends if i went one way the back of the scroll would stop it, so i turned it the other way shimmering a bit, thought i was gonna have to tturn the blade backwards, but i made it work, one of my next projects is gonnabe approx 18 x 18, thinking spiral blade for it, we will see

Kevin, thank you, yeah about 3 years ago we started helping out charities, mainly doing a haunted house doing can food drives, first 2 yrs we helped the SaLvation Army, and the North Bartow Community church Shop... (food banks) beginning of this year i was looking online for local charities and the battered womens shelter caught my eye. I emailed the director, told her what we do, and what we wanted to do for them. as of now im not getting alot of orders, but when i do a % goes to them. I am trying to teach myself 3 dimensional carving, but its being a PITA. sorry for ramblin, thanks again

WELL kevin, found out today its shipped 2nd day air ups.. so itll be here tomorrow, i did track it so its here in georgia, just south of atlanta... 3 dozen ears of corn, woman paid 97 bucks to ship it. I don't soak the wood when i carve, mainly cause i use soft wood like pine, unless customer specifys this is what they get. gotta google that bout soaking hard wood... and for the most part i use a dremel like thing, but mine is a black and decker rotary tool, i use between 3-6 different carving extensions to be tighten in the rotary. it does well, but this last one im doing is about 3 inches thick, 5 inches wide and 7 inches tall.. (approx) so ill use the rotary tool as much as i can, then ill prolly use a router for soome, then its hammer and chisel time. but i gotta put that one on hold til i get done with an order that i held a drawing for, she wants this cowboy wood burn i had just in a smaller scale.. and relief carved.. will post soon Thanks
