That is really good that you can have time with the little one in the shop with the little one drawing out what he likes and you get to cut it out for him! That is the one thing that I am missing with our great grand son who is with his parents over in Japan for at least 4 more years! He will be 6 years old in Oct and we last seen him when he turned 3 years old here in the US! Enjoy both of your young ones while you can, they grow up so fast! Erv Redwine

I am in full agreement with all of the comments having been posted! Use BB at least 1/4 inch, as for blades, SPRIAL blades would be the only blade to use simply because of this pattern! Use the smallest and if you haven't used sprials before, start with lower speeds and get used to not moving the wood where you don't want it to go as the sprial blade will cut where its at!! Do some practice cuts on the bb wood you will use and with a pencil or pen draw out some straight lines and a lot of curve lines or better yet copy off a small section of the pattern and place that on some bb and practice cutting with the spirals!

The first thing I do every morning is to go to Steve's web site and see what he has designed for the day and most likely get my copy of the new one! Steve will be missed not only by myself but the entire scrolling community! Rest in peace ! Erv Redwine

Oh yeah, both collage and pro's ! Great job on your design and cutting! Erv

Very nicely done, both the pattern and the finished product ! Erv

Great job on the mantle clock! I am in the same boat as you when it comes to taking photos of my work, sure glad the projects are so much better than my photos! Erv

That is a memory that both you and your grandson will treasure for a life time! Great job on the cutting of the portrait and to have it signed was a bonus for sure! Erv

Good job with Steve's gnome! He does turn out some great patterns for sure! Erv

You couldn't have picked a better piece of wood than this one for that scene! Very well done! Erv

Steve Goode, if you happen to see all of these get well soon, rest assured you are in all of our prayers and do what the doctor tells you to do! I have cut many, many of your patterns over the years, not sure when I first found your site, but always check each day to see what your design for the day is! Do take care! Erv Redwine

May 2026 be a very great year for everyone and take care! Erv

Merry Christmas to all!

This is the only source that I order hardwoods from! I used to use another source but the price kept going up and so was the shipping while the quality of the wood was not always what I would expect! You wont go wrong with Ocooch wood and shipment times! Ervin

I am a little late with this, laptop giving me trouble, but most all of the long time scrollers know about this, if you attach Padauk to a lighter colored wood preseal both pieces first! The reason being that Padauk will bleed into the lighter wood! This happened to me a couple of times until I ask about this and was told how to finish before putting the two woods together! Erv

Outstanding work on all 3 projects!!! Erv
