    Glad your finger has healed enough to be back at the saw. Nice cutting

    I haven't done big cats, but I did this stack of cats for my sister's birthday last year. Three of the cats are painted to represent the three cats that she has owned.

    All this math makes my head hurt!!! lol. I haven't worried out price per bf because I am not at that level. I go in and just buy a board!!!

    Nice cutting.

    So sorry about your cat, it is never an easy decision. I find that I start getting "itchy" fingers when I haven't been at the saw after a couple of weeks.

    Love this. The colouring is wonderful as is the framing.

    Very nice cutting.

    I made my grandson this when he was almost one. It was just something that he could play with at Nana's house!! Traced a take out container and modified it a bit. He is turning 3 this year and it is still one of the toys that always comes out!! You could easily add a cord to make it a pull toy!

    My daughter coaches synchronized swimming. I did these ornaments for her team. Glittery paint in the background and "diamonds" bling around the edge.

    Very nice cutting. Would it be easier if the wood were thicker? That is on my list to cut as well, after another 7 layer mandala!

    That is amazing work. Thanks for showing.

    I was reading a newsletter from another source that was talking about organizing the workshop in a weekend. I stopped reading it after the first paragraph where is said - throw out any piece of wood 1 foot or shorter!!! Then I thought, I should find someone who is following those rules!!!

    Nice work. I also like the cats, however I have a sheet of dinosaurs to cut for the grandson.

    It is originally a Steve Good pattern. I then "cut and pasted" the heart and name on the pattern. I don't know how to use inkscape, to I used MSword and cut and taped the pattern together!! lol

    Yes, Shadow was the bunnies name.

    My daughter's best friend had to put her pet bunny down the other day. I had posted a photo in the hopes of having a pattern made but it was to dark. This is what I came up with. I hope she likes it. I know my daughter certainly did. This is solid cherry wood cut with Pegas mg #3.

    I have used acrylic paints and the Unicorn Spit stains. Depends on the project that I am doing. On one project I wanted just a hint of colour so I used a pencil crayon and lightly coloured the piece then took an emory board to blend it all together. I was quite pleased with the effect.

    Love the idea of a jewel in the middle. We are expecting our granddaughter in May and my daughter is all over fairies - guess the theme of the room. I plan to cut a few of those for sun catchers. Have already cut the Once Upon a Time pattern from Steve to turn into a light. That I still have to paint!

    I used a product called Unicorn Spit. There was a write up in the Scrollsaw magazine a year or so ago. Found them at a local craft supply house here in Winnipeg. I was sooo excited to find them!!

    Thanks. These were stack cut, 4 layers of 1/8" bb ply. Took about 15 hours of cutting. The coloured ones took about 2 hours to stain. It was tough getting all the little sides done. I tried not to get too much on the back so there would be raw wood to glue to the next layer.

    And as much as I hate the way credit card companies handle the exchange rate, sometimes the prices and shipping are better than Bearwoods.
  23. barb.j.enders
    I understand that for International shipping but I hate it when a Canadian company charges high rates for shipping in Canada. One of the reasons I hesitate to order from Bearwoods.

    Here is the link to the site on Etsy. It looks like they are off line right now. https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/apswoodshop?ref=ks_wide

    Here is info from Wikipedia: A mandala (Sanskrit: मण्डल, romanized: maṇḍala, lit. 'circle', [ˈmɐɳɖɐlɐ]) is a geometric configuration of symbols. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. In the Eastern religions of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shintoism it is used as a map representing deities, or specially in the case of Shintoism, paradises, kami or actual shrines.[1][2] In New Age, the mandala is a diagram, chart or geometric pattern that represents the cosmos metaphysically or symbolically; a time-microcosm of the universe, but it originally meant to represent wholeness and a model for the organizational structure of life itself, a cosmic diagram that shows the relation to the infinite and the world that extends beyond and within various minds & bodies.
