    Sorry for your loss. That is a beautiful piece of work.

    Thanks for the kind words Ralph. The best advice I could give would be to purchase one of the beginner books and just jump in. Watch some of the videos. And stress a lot!

    The only thing I will add to this conversation is a place to get plans. I can't wing it on my own either. I got the plans for my flip cart from here. https://www.youtube.com/c/Fixthisbuildthat

    Great work Frank.

    I probably bought the same stuff. I always found the edges difficult to finish decently.
  6. barb.j.enders
    Just jump in. There are some easy patterns, including this one. Just be aware, it is addicting!

    Spent most of the day sorting, storing, amalgamating and yes!!! throwing out!!! I don't have a before. The last two are the after!
  8. barb.j.enders
    Well done!

    Some segmentation items look great painted. Or, Wendell Woodworks has a couple of videos that have some ideas.

    Depends on the project. The Angel Fish took much longer. I was having problems with it. I was also moving furniture around in the house, so it kinda got ignored. The Hummingbird was probably 10 hours total work. That was spread over a few days.

    Hummingbird hovering over Flower. Pattern designer - @FrankEV. Thank you. Woods used -Purpleheart, orange osage, aromatic cedar, Canarywood, lacewood, poplar, maple, wenge. Mounted on live edge Elm. Walrus oil finish. Aprox 9"x7. There is a before finish and after finish. I love putting the finish on to see the colours pop!

    Latest piece done. Segmentation Koi bowl. I used 3/4" Poplar for two layers and 1/2" Maple for the third layer. Black is Osmo finish. Colours are acrylic paints. Finished with triple glaze gloss. Pattern is from an old Creative Woodworks magazine. Pattern designer is Deborah Nicholson. Thank you @Denny Knappenfor providing it to me. Original pattern is 12" diameter. This is reduced to 8"diameter.

    You can use any shelf liner. Some will say "clear" so you can see the grain lines but if you are using tape, you can't see the grain. I will use/have used the cheapest liner from the $ store or whatever is on sale.

    Another stunning piece Frank. Makes me want to hang up my saw!! almost!

    A different take on holding the ring in a ring box. How about a tapered dowel for the ring to slip over. Picture as an example. Shannon+Crystal+Ring+Holder.webp

    Those woods look great for Intarsia. I can send you my address
  18. barb.j.enders
    You are correct. You cannot copy & sell a pattern. Anything you make you can sell or give away the product. Generally though, credit should be given to the pattern designer.
  19. barb.j.enders
    True, but the only thing I print is patterns. I am okay with black. Hubby, is now printing more but it is music so black is fine for him.
  20. barb.j.enders
    No Rick, don't stop posting. You are doing great.
  21. barb.j.enders
    I switched to a laser printer with toner cartridge. No ink to dry out. Downside is, it only prints black.
  22. barb.j.enders
    Looks great Dick. The style reminds me of a Russ Beard pattern. Wonder if this is one of his?

    Weather wise, we have been on a roller-coaster! Today -32 C without windchill. Friday we had a blizzard. Not much snow but very srtong winds, temp was only -5C. Ealier in Jan we were above zero.

    Steve is quite happy to have his patterns altered. Just wants to be credited. I also altered the pattern.....or at least I had @Don in Brooklyn do it. And yes, ut can be challenging to find a pattern in his catalog.
  25. barb.j.enders
    FYI, That is a Steve Good pattern that was obviously altered. https://www.stevedgood.com/valengnome.pdf
