Thanks Frank. I got the idea after I put the cutting down on top of my wife's Ipad which has a green cover. It's probably a "Love it or Loathe it" but I like it. Let's hope someone else does too so I can sell it! Rob

Top notch cutting. Nothing like some lettering to test your skills! Rob

Beautiful Peter. What wood is the inlaid rose? Rob

First class job! Rob

I wanted a stamp for the paper bags I use at craft fairs and watched a few YouTube tutorials before realising I could make one on the scroll saw. I sandwiched some thin closed cell foam between some thin plywood and cut out my design. Afterwards I glued the cut out foam to the cut out plywood with contact adhesive. With hindsight I could have glued the foam to one piece of ply before cutting but if you do this think carefully about which side you cut from bearing in mind you need the reversed image. Then I glued the ply/foam lettering to another piece of ply and added a small handle. I'm really pleased with the result and will make another with my logo. I will also use this to sign the back of some of my cuttings. Let me know if you have any questions. Rob

Necessity is the mother of invention and that is a great idea. Looks like it's going to be a stunning piece too. Looking forward to seeing it in due course. Rob

Thanks Les. 99.9% of what I use is reclaimed timber. I get a great kick out of making something beautiful from someone else's scrap. Rob

Beautiful job Dave. Maple and walnut go so well together. Rob

Plant stand, trivet or decorative hanging cut from a mahogany drawer front for a change! 14 x 14cm or 5.5 x 5.5 inches approx. I think I got the pattern from Craftsmanspace.com but couldn't find it there when I did a quick check. Thanks for looking. Rob

That's a cracker Frank. The progression idea is great. Rob

Beautifully cut and well done on the design, you got it spot on. I particularly like the way you handled the dot of the "i" in Josie. I see it is done that way on the Grapico logo too so I guess that was your inspiration. Will be treasured I'm sure. Well done. Rob

Great cutting Luis. Nice variety of fonts too. Rob

That's great Dick. Love the pattern, Rob

It's actually spelt RIMU Dan. Aka (Rob Is Mostly Using!) Rob

Thanks Jes. Pretty well everything I cut is from recycled timber. I am lucky in that I can often find old drawer boxes in native New Zealand Rimu which I buy up for about $5 each. Rimu can vary quite a lot in appearance from dark red to yellowish brown with streaks to quite a pale bland sapwood. Usually I will finish a piece by dipping it in Tung oil or Boiled Linseed Oil mixed 50/50 with white spirit (mineral spirits in US) which brings out the colour and grain. Just for fun, here is a picture including one of the cutout pieces so you can see what a transformation the BLO makes. If you do decide to try BLO please read up on safety first. Rags or paper towel soaked in linseed oil can spontaneously combust! Rob

Deer cuttings seem to sell well for me and as we are in the middle of the "Roar" I thought I would cut this one again. Pattern is by Gayle from Scroller's Cafe. Thanks for looking.
