    Thanks for the nice comments but might have to cut another sign. After I finished brushing one coat of Tung oil on it I decided to used a piece of thin wire to suspend it to dry, guess what, the bent wire straight itself out and the plaque fell on the cement floor, broke in 6 pieces (will not go into what came out of my mouth at that time) I thing it can be glue back, because the break was clean and the wood is oak. Will buy some instant wood clue and give it a shot if it does not work, will find another piece of wood and another 4 hours on the scroll saw will do it.

    Yes I use Tung oil and it turns out very nice, on a slab of oak it really brings the grain of the wood out and the more coats the more shine.

    The bowl is a different pattern that I found during my travel, made of Black cherry, still have to apply the finish The welcome sign is a commission work, I have this slab of oak for awhile and decided that it will be a good choice for this, also have to apply the finish (2 to 3 coats of Tung oil). I'm pleased with the result so far. Pattern by Sue Mey.

    I used Tung oil on mine 2 to 3 coats and so far all of them are still fine. If they becomes dull or burn just sand it again and reapply more oil.

    I used glue gun, green or blue tape, brad nailers all seems to work for me.

    Just beautiful piece, I also cut the prayer and I understand how difficult it is with all the words, good things that the prayer is not longer. Great work and I specially like the backup

    Yes it is a box a little tricky to cut because of the sharp edges but I used the Dremel to shape the ends.

    A few items that I just finished with the cut. The Christmas ornaments are from Sue Mey, I used Padauk, red cherry and walnut a little too hard to cut but I managed. The bowl is from SSWC magazine couple years ago. After the cut you need to sand/shape it a little to look good. The Christmas names patterns are from Steve Good, this is his yearly Christmas ornaments that you order from him. There is no finish apply as of yet, too busy cleaning out the garden for the winter.

    I use sanding mops all the time, I have 3 different grits they do a fantastic job of cleaning up the wood piece. I also use the 220 grit between Tiung oil application.

    I used FDUR blades for all my trivets, # 3 for 1/4" # 5 for 1/2" and # 7 for 3/4" thickness. No sanding required just a little bit of sanding mop between each coat of finish.

    Thank you very much for all the nice comments, but Russell is the one that deserves the most, I just made sawdust. I think I might give them away to some friend for Christmas. My wife will decide how to put them together, I just do the cutting and finishing, tha's enough for this old fart.

    Thanks to Russell the designer. The 12 days are cut and the best part I used only 1 blade FD PSR #3 I just cut one at a time on 1/4" stock and I don't remember what type of wood it is because I had these little strip of wood for at least 10 years just waiting to find use for them.

    No band saw all with the scrollsaw.

    I don't know yet Russell, might give them away since we are away to Arizona for 2 months during the winter this year.

    Thanks for the nice comments. Wood used were most pieces of scrap that I had, paddauk, oak, yellowheart black cherry

    Just finished these 3 items, the knitting bowl pattern is from Sue Mey, don't remember who posted the "Canadian" thanksgiving trivet pattern. Sue had to modify her pattern because it was very hard to sand and shape but I managed to get it done. The new pattern is easier to do.

    Thanks for all the nice comments, I think they will be nice addition for Christmas inventory. Go ahead and cut away they are not hard to do, I reduced the size to 4 1/2" X 2 3/4".
  24. scrollerpete
