    Nice work, I know what you mean by spending time in the shop away from your wife, I’m lucky because my wife loves to do Diamond Painting so she is in her corner of the basement and I am in my shop at the other end. Happy Wife is an Happy Life LOL

    I don’t understand the sanding aspect, I must have done 100 of these mini bird houses and I never sand any of them. Might have used a sanding mop on some, but I used a sealing coat first and then 2 to 4 coats of spray shellac.

    Just use 2 pieces of 1/2” and sandwiched a piece of 1/4” in the middle.

    Good luck on your first show, glad that the venue is on.

    I used all pieces of scrap wood that I have in my scrap box, mix and match wood of different thickness to get the size required for the bird houses. This way you get all kind of different colours, the front might be cherry, the back Walnut that is the beauty of cutting them. Your cost on wood is really nothing better use than the wood stove. Just let your mind explore all the possibilities.

    A very good friend and neighbor with Parkinson’s passed away, we used to go for breakfast at different restaurants around town and also go out for dinner with our wife’s. Any way his wife asked me if I could make an urn for his remain, she said it is a sentimental value to her. Well I am not in the urn making business, so after discussing her request, she wanted something simple but with nice wood (I made lots of crafts fir them before). In the shop I go with a heavy heart even though we new that the end was close, this is what I came up with. His name was Gerry Brown.

    Will have to talk to Mother Nature to turn the thermostat up quite a bit, flurries here this a.m. and freezing overnight. Hopefully she will check the calendar again and bring the nice weather. I made this elevated garden box with Western Red Cedar(should last for years) size is 36”L x16W x 13” D.

    You can do all kind of intarsia with different shades of western cedar, not expensive and easy to cut.

    Well golf courses still closed, not much to do so spend some times in the shop and it was productive, the home sign is a 3 layers cut to become one for the sign another Alex Fox pattern.

    Since we had to self quarantine for 14 days upon our return from Florida, I had lot’s of time to spend in the shop. Weather here not the greatest since our March 17 return so the basement was my refuge. Here are some items that I finished. Enjoy and stay safe the scrollsaw or the wood does not carry the virus, I hope. ps The Kleenex box pattern is from Sue Mey (not easy) The bunny head pencil from Bagetta and the wolf from Alex Fox

    Kevin you amaze me every time you post, keep yourself busy and enjoy the piece and quiet while you can. Great scrolling my friend.

    Nice cutting Denny but I agree Eastern Cedar not the best wood for trivet, very fragile, you just look at it and it breaks. The colour and the smell are nice but for trivets I always used Hardwood.
