  1. Great deal for you. I live in the desert, no sawmills here. Very hard to get timber from a sagebrush!
  2. Short answer, because I love it. Use to have other hobbies but now pretty much just wood working.
  3. Nice work! I also love the pattern.
  4. Yes I use a brush and an X-Acto knife. It the piece is not too fragile, I use a ROS. But like on the Raccoon, a Ros was not an option. But wouldn't it be nice to come up with a easy way to miminumize the clean up in the first place? It is worth a try to me.
  5. On my last scroll portrait, I tried something I have been thinking about. I had three pieces stacked. On the second piece of wood I applied shellac, to the back of the board before taping the pieces together. I wanted to see if that reduced the little chip out and some of the fuzzies. It may have, but sort of inconclusive. There were less fuzzies on the second piece than on the top piece, which had no shellac. There was not chip out on either the top or second board. But, keep in mind I had a third sacrificial piece of plywood on the bottom. I'm going to try it again on my next cutting. Shellac the back of two pieces of 1/8" BB, leave off the third piece of plywood and see what happens. Anyone tried or do this regularly? It would really be nice to not to have all that fuzzy clean up after scrolling.
  6. How much coffee do you have in the morning?? You pump these out like a machine!! More nice work.
  7. Great work. I love the raindeer and Santas. I may have to get the pattern for those, wood look great on my daughters hearth.
  8. Thank you all. A frame will come, I did get the Raccoon framed and am delivering it to my brother today. Frames are getting more fun to make as I get practice. Just wish I had a better imagenation. This prostpector does need some old barn wood or something. Scrolling Steve, your avatar looks like it could be a Charles Dearing pattern. I was hoping you had more posted in the gallery, but didn't find it.
  9. Well done. That will bring on some smiles.
  10. I'm always impressed with your work. Including the painting on the name you picture here. I'd love to be able to paint.
  11. I'm going to give it a go soon. I've been collecting wood for a pattern I have and as soon as I get some of this scrolling out of my system I on it. Don't expect much.
  12. Congrats on the success. Was a great looking display, success does not surprise me.
  13. Took this one off the saw this afternoon. Pattern by Charles Dearing pattern #W-8. Stacked 2 pieces of 1/8" BB and a piece of 3/16" throw away plywood. Used 3/0 FD spiral blades. This one only took me around 12 hours. Seem like the patterns I pick to cut are old old men with wrinkled faces. Well except for the raccoon. I wonder way this is? Self portraits??
  14. Job very well done!
  15. Nice scrolling, Hans. I always enjoy seeing your work. Very inspiring.
  16. That is a very neat piece of art.
  17. Great looking basket!
  18. Very nicely done. Do you make your own frames?
  19. WOW! You did a super job on those. Of course I the USMC one best...
  20. I really like that one. Nicely done and nice pattern.
  21. You are such a busy man. Keeps you young.
  22. You just go go go! They all look great. Keep pumping them out!
  23. Great job. I like the way you did the additional wood burning. Great picture.
  24. Very nice!
