Great job Gary! I make my own frames too. I mill the wood for the frame to the width that looks good for the project. Then use a dado blade on my table saw to cut the rabbit. I use a dedicated jig on my table saw to cut the miters.i glue the project into the frame so I don’t have to reinforce The miter joints. Making your own frames allows you to fit the frame to the project rather than fitting the project to the frame.

I wholeheartedly agree with Frank. You did a great job cutting, but not so great on the wood selection.

Karma? Murphy’s law? Just plain bad luck? It’s happened to all of us at one time or another. Just chalk it up to experience, and move on!

Both methods are effective. I don’t like the idea of nails in my wood for obvious reasons. I have used double stick tape but difficult to separate. I use two different methods. If I’m cutting portraits where I need the whole wood blank, I’ll use blue painters tape on the edges of the blanks. If I’m cutting items from the inside of the blanks like ornaments, I’ll use a hot glue gun and apply a bead of hot glue on the edges of the blanks. I’ll usually clamp the stack to keep the edges tight, then glue. Your cutting is excellent Gary!

It’s called a watch.

You did a great job Frank! Letters are alway difficult, even for more experienced scrollers!

It turned out great Les!

It’s looking great so far Dale! I went through a lathe phase myself a bunch of years ago. I turned hundreds of pens, bottle stoppers, bowls and everything else. I wasn’t selling at the time, so everything I turned I gave away, but I got over it!

Nice work Brenda, you sure are using up that BB!

Ben, I would not use felt or flocking to show through the top. Dust will settle on either material and will make it very difficult to clean. Sure it will look great for now, but a year down the road, it will have collected a lot of dust and will be almost impossible to clean.

I do one in October and one in November. Neither has officially cancelled yet, but I have decided that I’m not doing any shows this year. It’s just not worth the danger of it all.

Very well done Gary! I’ve done that piece. It’s a good seller.

It’s an Excalibur EX 21.

Great looking projects Rich!

As Brenda said, Brilliant! Now, you need to make a wooden stand!
-
I like that a lot Gary, I might have to cut one for my wife!

Welcome to the Village Frank. Looks like you have some experience under your belt. Feel free to add your distinctiveness to the collective!

Great looking project Charlie, glad you left the debate on FB!
-
Fred, that looks fantastic! Can you tell some cutting details? From here, it looks like there are 11 different pieces that are cut out and glued back in, or is it carved to make the effect ?
-
Any details?
-
Very nice project Brenda!
