    I cut this one for my wife. She was a champion English hunter/jumper, and I am so proud of her dedication to her sport. I designed and cut this.

    You are so right, Kevin. It's like a Zen-thing for me.

    I'm so glad you asked. I gave this very careful consideration. I made my pattern with the stage in and out of the picture. In the end, I decided that The Beatles are the most important focus of my portrait, and I didn't want the distraction of the stage. This is such an iconic picture in the memory of those of us who lived in this magical era of music. Oh...I also knew that I could always go back and add the stage if it looked wrong to me. I am quite pleased with the way it looks now, and given all the comments it has garnered on social media, I think I'll leave it as is.

    I love my spirals. If you aren't used to them, give yourself a bit of time to practice. Once you get it, there's no goin back...not for me anyway.

    Thanks, all. I made this for a co-worker. She's from India, and wants to buy it for her husband's birthday present.

    Thank all of you for your kind comments. This is a big part of why I love scrolling...sharing and hearing the comments of so many other talented artists. You all the ones who keep me going.

    I just finished cutting this. No finish yet. 1/8 Baltic birch ply. Pegas 2/0 spirals. 8" x 10". I posted this photo taken from an odd angle, because other people will often steal the pattern, and I might want to sell it to other scroll saw hobbyists.
  23. Kris Martinson
    I did not stack this one. But I wish I had.
  24. Kris Martinson
    Yes. I try to take advantage of the grain whenever possible. Thanks so much for your comments.
