    Nice job. You get some super cool pieces of oak.

    I crafted table using Peruvian walnut, Zebra wood, and Maple. The drawer on the table slides through so each player can access it. Chess pieces are made of Aspen and Peruvian walnut. The first design of pieces are super fragile and will break super easy.

    Barb, Did you use the Unicorn spit on the outside piece or did you use regular stain? Really nice job.

    I have done several of Steve Good's patterns. With some knowledge of inkskape you are able to change them up to make them more challenging as you continue your scroll saw journey. The rose box was a segmented pattern he shared that I thought it would be nice on a box top done in intarsia. The cameo box was a fretwork box that I thought I might try doing it all inlayed.

    All I ever use is the small one.

    Very nice Ron. I just finished a couple of dog urns myself.

    Totally incredible Ron.

    What are you using to clean your equipment? Just blowing them off doesn't really get them clean. The tops aren't the problem, it is all the other parts. I don't want to attract more dust. Seems to me like the wood dust leaves like a resin on things.

    Very nice work. Be careful, intarsia is very addictive. It may require treatment.

    Most Jet woodworking equipment has a 5 year warranty.

    Thanks so much. Seeing your boxes several years ago was a big inspiration to me. Looking forward to seeing more.

    One mans trash is another mans treasure. I have the best luck doing this with a blade that doesn't have reverse teeth and my saw set on a slow speed.

    Awesome pattern and cutting.

    I didn't follow a tutorial or know of one. I made the pattern and just figured it out myself. If you are interested in trying it message me and I will try to explain it to you.

    I've been wondering where in the heck you've been. I've always admired your work. Looking forward to seeing more.

    A client commissioned me to make this box for her son for Christmas. The family is from Scotland where they still have family. The son started college at OU. An uncle that lives in Scotland made the young man the OU from a tree that was in their yard. My client wanted me it incorporate it into the box. From there her son transferred to the Louisiana Warhawks where he was a was their football kicker. He has since graduated and my client was wanting it to put the memorabilia she had collected during his college career. Box measures 15 1/2 x 12 1/2 x 8. Wood used maple, Peruvian walnut, padauk, sapele, and tigerwood.

    I've been cutting a lot of chess pieces. They are big enough to cut without a fixture to hold them . I've been using hot glue to hold them together while making the second cut. Works quite well for me.

    That is totally crazy. That is the first willow I have seen used. It is awesome.
