  1. Simply beautiful. You did an excellent job with the cut and the finish!
  2. Yes. I just added the pattern to the main post. Glad you like it. Let me know if you cut it.
  3. I finished cutting the duck picture. Still needs sanding and varnish. Pattern took about an hour to make on GIMP 2. Cutting took about ten hours. Baltic birch, 1/4", 8 x 10".
  4. beautiful and impressive.
  5. Very nice cutting and designs. How long did each one take you?
  6. Work in progress....I have only cut the duck so far. I plan to add a water scene to it. I made the pattern from the photo. The woodcut is reversed to show my progress. This is the flip-side of the wood.
  7. Still beautiful. No harm done at all, but nice of you to update us.
  8. I can't imagine how the other one could have been better than this one you made. Excellent!
  9. You are so right about this. Thanks for expressing in words what we all feel.
  10. I think I've lived through all of these...slow learner...I just keep scrolling.
  11. My supervisor commissioned me to cut a portrait for her. Here's the updated portrait final cut. Wood is still wet from the glue removal. Needs sanding, stain (or not) and varnish.
  12. Follow-up photo
  13. Cutting the beard hair was easy to do. Getting the pattern just right to depict the beard was the difficult part.
  14. Thank you all for the kind remarks. My son did love the gift. Now, I'm off to start the next project.
  15. My son and grandson at a Christmas lighting event. I cut this for my son as a Christmas present.
  16. Thank you all for your kind words. Sharing my work with fellow enthusiasts is a large part of my love for this hobby. In other words, your comments really make it worth doing these projects.
  17. Excellent work and very appropriate. Please tell your granddaughter and her husband that we are VERY thankful for their commitment and their important service to protect our freedom.
  18. Beautiful scrolling. I can see why your friend wanted one. Your grandson will treasure it for all of his life, especially as he matures and realizes the effort you put into this project for him. Merry Christmas, Josh.
  19. These are photos of the finished projects which I previously posted. These are Christmas presents for relatives. Merry Christmas to all of my Scrolling Friends!
  20. I cut these portraits of my nephews as a Christmas present for their mother. In my (large) family, we draw Secret Santa names, and then we have the option of making a present of buying one. The best ones are always the homemade presents. And it's always a thrill to watch each person take their turn opening their present, then presenting their gift to their recipient. I just added the original photographs used to create the patterns.
  21. joe, you are gonna love this group. Very supportive and helpful. You are also going to like scrolling. If you need any help with patterns, materials, blades, techniques, etc,you are certainly in the right place. Welcome to Woodworking Wonderland!
  22. Thank you for the pattern info.
  23. I just finished cutting this one. I don't know who made the pattern. I made my pattern for it using a photograph of someone else's cutting.
  24. I just checked it out. NICE!!! Your scroll work is outstanding.
