    Thanks for your flattering word but my work is far from perfect.

    Awesome pattern and cutting. Is your museum full yet?

    Looks great Dick. I just finished up my first attempt of carving also. I didn't use any knives or chisels. I used a rotary tool with burrs. I guess that is called carving. The problem I had is was trying to sand out my cutting. I totally understand the feeling of the heat.

    I have a Pegas Band saw. Sure wish you could test drive one before you made the purchase. I do a lot of compound cutting of chess pieces. There is no way I can cut them with my band saw. It will not turn sharp enough. I love it for my intarsia projects. It will cut thick hard hard wood with ease. I do enough intarsia so it is well worth it even if that is all I use it for. On my scroll saw I have a tendency to push sideways a bit so my pieces end up a bit out of square. I have gotten very frustrated with Pegas because blades and bearings have been a real issue getting. I waited over six months to get #7 bearings. I bought mine from Denny and would highly recommend him if you decide to pull the trigger.

    That is totally awesome. I would have a problem gluing up that 1/4" since I am so shaky. Did you finish it after it was put together or before?

    Talked to him about a week ago on FB. Sounds like he is having some bad luck.

    How about a little flower power.

    You do nice work Ralph. Don't be afraid to try something new. The worst that can happen is it becomes firewood.

    You are a true artist. Did you paint the background?
  15. Dave Monk
    I did not cut where the flower fit in at an angle. There are 3 pieces of 1/4". The top piece I cut to fit the intarsia into, the second piece is solid and the third I scrolled the message into and glued them all together.

    The box is walnut and I used yellow heart, purple heart, poplar and canary for the flower pistils.

    A client commissioned me to make a jewerly box for his wife for their anniversary. He gave me a picture of some hibiscus he wanted inlayed into the top which I made a pattern for. He also wanted the message put under the lid. I got it done way ahead of schedule but this time of year I start getting super busy with shows.

    https://www.pswood.com/super-sharps-scroll-saw-blades/ When using pegas blades for inlays I don't feel like I can turn clockwise as sharp as counter clockwise. With super sharps I feel I can turn as sharp in both directions. It may be all in my head. The Super Sharps are expensive but for me they are worth it for what I am using them for.

    I have a Pegas and a Hegner. I use Pegas blades most of the time but use Super Sharps when doing inlays. I very seldom break a blade on my Pegas but do more often on my Hegner. Where were you Pegas blades breaking?

    Welcome from Texas. This site is where I got my start.

    Looks great! Walrus oil is a new one to me.
  22. Dave Monk
    Just curious why you use diluted shellac VS oil?

    This pattern was made by Sasho.
