    I cut pretty well the same as Scrappile so far it has worked for me. Mostly the patterns dictate the way to attack the project, I liked to get rid of the hard stuff first and keep the easy for the end.

    I found it on Pinterest but no pattern so far, looks like it is from Britain

    Very nice might have to try it myself, I think lot's of people will like to have one. Excellent job on the finish also.

    Thanks for all the nice words but still not sure if I"ll ever attempt another one, it is very difficult to cut the lord's prayer and not be able to swear when it does not go right. I had to cut one phrase a second time because the last letter that I was cutting broke, had to bite my tongue real hard. LOL

    I could eat this big boy, excellent cutting.

    Just have to finish the assembly (glue them all together) and apply a coat or 2 of clear finish and I'm done. Will not cut letters for at least another month (hate it) but this is a gift for auction of the Knights of Columbus golf tournament. Also this id my first and only one that I will cut. LOL Pattern by Keith/Sheila Landry

    MY wife has done lot's of tole painting and she has a real big collection of paint, so I just help myself to it.

    No it is not compound cut, the pattern is from Diane Thompson at www.scrollsawinpirations.com and it is called "Whimsical Birdhouses Ornaments"

    Russell, as promised here is the result of your pattern, it was not an easy cut but with a little bit of patience I think I managed to do it justice. I chose this piece of wood because this person really like wood with bark on it, also the name of the designer is BirchBARK LOL

    It has been very hot here lately and since my workshop is in the basement, which has A/C, I spend some times making a little bit of sawdust. BTW Travis is the pattern designer for the golfer.

    I used FDUR #7 and full speed on the saw. Let the blade do the work, don't push to hard and you will be fine. Poplar is soft wood, should cut easy.

    Don't forget the finishing is the most important thing to get the BIG $$$$$$$$. You are a machine.

    A good thing to use for the perch is 1/8" dowel, they are cheap and you cut them with a knife. With my bird houses I used a black felt marker and I painted black with it. Kevin you are getting close to master the "BIRD HOUSES", I am sure they will sell like hot cakes.

    They look very good, may I suggest to use some lint from the dryer and put it in the hole. I did that and people seems to like it better than a bare hole.

    This is awesome cutting, must have patience of an angel and the talent also.

    Very sad indeed he was a legend in the scrollsaw world, maybe to remember and honor him, next time that we install a new FD blade on our saw, we paused for a moment in his memory. RIP Mike

    Here is a pic of the bowl that I made using purple heart. Heart shape for Valentine day

    I made a heart shape bowl for my wife last Valentine day, I know how difficult it is to shape and sand the purple heart but the finish product is beautifull. You did an excellent job.
