    If I have a project I'm not happy with it goes in the trash. No way do I want it staring at me.

    I sell almost everything I make. I have been given things in the past that I could care less about but accepted them to be nice. Build up a little inventory and take it to a small craft show. Nothing says you have to make the same thing over.

    Have you KC?

    What book did you get that pattern out of? Love it.

    There are two types of 77 spray glue. One is regular and one is low VOC. I got the low VOC type and MS would not clean it. Don't know if this might be your issue.

    I think your wood choices were good. I have done roses in Cedar, aspen, canary and padauk. There are lots of different color roses.

    Steve good has a rose segmented pattern that is super for intarsia. It is called Segmented Rose. Nice work. WARNING.............Intarsia is addictive.

    Really slow though.

    Why didn't I think of this sooner. I sand a lot of small parts and it has always been a pain trying to hold them in place. Today a lightbulb turned on. Hard to believe with this old brain. I took a piece of 1/2" plywood and put shelf paper on it. I then used spay glue on the back of a sheet of 120 grit sandpaper and stuck it to it. Worked great! I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with this solution but I thought I might share it.

    Love this bottle. I use a lot of glue so I buy it by the gallon. I've tried other dispensers but this works best for me.

    I glue up 2" maple and walnut strips. They form stripes. After those have dried I cross cut the piece I glued up. That makes strips of squares alternating in maple and walnut. Then I have to glue them back up to create the chess board. Writing is not my strong suite. If you still don't understand what I am saying I will try to find a video tonight that explains it better.

    I planed end grain yesterday. After I glue up my strips for a chess board I recut them and flip them. Before I glue them back up I run them through my planer on edge. You have to allow for tear out on the end. Hope that makes sense.

    Looks more like a museum.

    I needed a new printer so I sprung for one that handles up to 13" x 19" paper. Luv it. I would imagine the way you are doing it is more economical in the end.

    You sure have stepped up your game. Nice work.

    You could stain first.

    I've got a cedar privacy fence that I haven't done a thing to and it has weathered to a grey color that I don't mind the looks of. I think it depends on how you want it to look. A Thompson sealer wouldn't be a bad choice.

    Awesome work!
  19. Dave Monk
    Sure looks better.

    If it were for free you would try to get the to pay you for taking it off their hands.

    Awesome pattern and cutting.
  22. Dave Monk
    I totally love it.

    You must not have the newest version of Inkskape. When I had the last version I could pint on legal but my new version won't. It will print but only the amount that would be on a regular page.

    Awesome job Paul. Way to hang in there. Well worth it.
  25. Dave Monk
    That came out great Barb.
