    Throw some lighter colored woods in between and it would look really sharp. There are so many things you could do with that wood. I love working with cedar.

    That would work perfect for the sides of the boxes like Jim Finn makes. You could even glue some together to make the box tops.

    And if it free it is even better.

    No favorites here. I just love to work with all different types of wood. I have a friend that is knocking down some mulberry trees and I am thinking about taking those to a sawmill. I also have a neighbor that is taking down a walnut tree and there is a hard maple tree across the street that is dying and I hope to get that one. Now if I could just find some big cedar trees I would be in seventh heaven. :D

    I love the flaming box elder and these boxes really look great made out of it! It gives me some ideas for some pieces I resawed out of a friend’s tree. Thanks for sharing!!!!

    Great work Roly! I love the leaves hanging in the first picture. My wife would go nuts over the earrings also so I won’t be showing her these pictures. Lol

    Very nice cut Dick! I love the old barns and this is a wonderful job on a great pattern! :thumbs:
  8. Wilson's Woodworking
    They look great but you can keep that white stuff over your way. I heard around the tip of lake michigan last year they measured the snowfall by the foot instead of the inch!

    Now I would call that some quality time spent with your saw.

    I don't like the dust that MDF makes. It is ultra-fine and goes everywhere.

    You did a great job on cutting those John. They will be very special to the people that receive them.
  12. Wilson's Woodworking
    You did an amazing job on that one! I love the detail in that pattern. It will really pop when you get it framed with a backer. :thumbs:

    Welcome to the village Ray! Enjoy your vacation then dig in and start practicing with that saw. Please post pictures of your saw and your work. If you get the chance talk your instructor to join in as well, I think we would all like to see his saw and his work also. Take some time and look around the village and you will see the work of some of the masters of scrolling showing their work and giving tips to amateurs like me on how to get more out of there saws. Enjoy your time on the forum and don’t be a stranger.
  14. Wilson's Woodworking
    Don't forget to post pictures of your saw and your work. We love pictures you know. :D

    I wish I had the money for that saw. You are not far away from Norfolk Ne. but right now money is kind of tight. Good luck on your venture and please post some pictures while you are up there. I think we would all Love to see them. Oh by the way WELCOME to the village!!!

    I think I would be considered a Jack of all trades and a master of none. I tinker with wood, leather, stone and wood. I will build cabinets all the way down to an ornament but am not perfected at anything.

    That is what you get for taking your wife fishing. She hooked the love of her life. Great work on the cuttings, I love the horse on top of the cowboy and girl.
  18. Wilson's Woodworking
    I missed the cm in the size description. I always picture everything in inches and that would have been one big cutting if it were inches. I kinda thought 42X30" would take a very big saw. Lol
  19. Wilson's Woodworking
    I love these types of boxes and these look great. It makes me wish I had a bandsaw.
  20. Wilson's Woodworking
    That may be an easy cut but it is very cute and you can tell it was done by a master. Lovely clock, it should sell well. If I made one like that my wife would make sure it never made it out of the house.
  21. Wilson's Woodworking
    It looks great!!!! Good job, I am sure they loved it. :thumbs:
  22. Wilson's Woodworking
    I love it Marge!!! That is one large cutting; I am guessing you used spiral blades. Great work and great job framing. :thumbs:
  23. Wilson's Woodworking
    I love the richness of the cherry and the knot really worked in perfectly. The torched edge really sets off the whole picture! A great pattern and great cutting. :thumbs:
  24. Wilson's Woodworking
    Right on target! The stress is relieved when you make a cut and this causes the bow. If it is a cathedral cut you will probably wind up with some nice rocking chair rockers. A quarter sawn board should have less stress in it but you may get some bow in it and the higher the moisture level the more the stress. If you think wood is interesting to work with due to bow try to cut stainless steel. I will bet Ike can chime in on that material. One little light cut on one side and holy cow what a bow.

    Looks pretty good to me Paul. I would ask for 2 pints.
