Great piece, fantastic lettering skills and must have given you a great sense of achievement. Rob
-
Looks great Brian. Rob
-
Interesting Dan, The last one I made sold quickly so maybe I should do another couple like you! Rob
-
Peace Nativity cut from reclaimed rimu and finished with oil and beeswax. Pattern by Birchbark, thanks Russell. This is the second time I have cut this one. I really like it. Rob
-
Incredible pieces and the Viking is beautifully painted. It really works. Very well done, Rob
-
Awesome cutting. Your customer will love that. Rob
-
Dave, You might want to get your eyes checked, I can't see anything wrong with that. Lovely job and well up to your usual high standard! Rob
-
Looks good Merlin. I know what you mean about the MDF but I reckoned it wouldn't be in the cake for more than a minute or two so didn't worry about it. Rob
-
The handles are a great idea Jerry. I usually leave the outside edge until last but it is always a bit tense knowing you can stuff up an otherwise completed piece at the last minute. Still, that's scrolling I suppose! Rob
-
Very nice. Great cutting and I love the contrast with the walnut base. Rob
-
Great work. Careful though, the bug will start to bite! Rob

Hey Merlin, I made one recently using some melamine faced MDF that came from my daughters old Ikea bed. About 5-6mm thick (quarter inch approx). I didn't need any finish as it was already white on one side and blue on the other. Rob
-
Lots of work in that from both of you but a great result. Very nice, Rob
-
I dilute food colouring 50/50 with methylated spirits (denatured alcohol for you I think). It flows on quickly, dries rapidly and I have not noticed it fading. Don't know if it is better than your method but would be easy to test on some scrap. Rob

Same age as me Iggy . I have signed up for my first outdoor event at a local park in a couple of weeks time. It is popular with dog walkers so I have cut a dozen of the non-puzzles which I hope will go well alongside my other items. Thanks for sharing your experiences over the last year or so, it has been interesting to follow and very encouraging. If I do half as well as you I will be pleased. Rob
-
Well done Ike and good luck for the next one. Rob
-
Very nice. I have cut that one myself but only out of ply. It looks so much better in padauk! Rob
-
Good find Wayne. Like you I use reclaimed wood almost exclusively. I get a real kick out of making something out of firewood/landfill. Rob
-
That's a lovely cross Delvaughn. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Garapa too. My local DIY shed has started stocking decking made from Garapa and also Purpleheart. I bought an offcut of purpleheart and have turned a pen from it but I don't think I will bother with the Garapa after hearing of your experience. Rob

Welcome Steve, it's nice to see a few more Brits on the village. I briefly had a Diamond saw too but unfortunately got rid of it as we were short of space in our shipping container when emigrating to NZ. Wish I still had it though. Rob
-
Those are a great idea. Very nicely done, they look fantastic. Rob
-
Well done. Lovely cut and nice to see these hand drawn patterns enjoying a revival. Rob
-
Very nice Denny. I love a good trivet but had missed that pattern. It is now on my cut list. Thanks for posting! Rob
-
And that is how the empire started! Awesome. All the best, Rob
-
That's really interesting seeing the difference between then and now. Your set up certainly looks more professional now! Rob
