Great Job!

I was asked to make this as a raffle prize for our county centennial. The logo was designed by a local artist. The backer is maple flooring I was able to salvage out of an old community hall that was torn down quite a few years ago. The logo and letters are actually oak ply, but I stained them with Minwax Dark Walnut stain to help them stand out more. Overal size is roughly 33" wide by 19" tall.

My in-laws gave me this awesome 1935 map of Montana a few years ago. I finally got it framed. It's roughly 47" x 38", dark walnut and oak. I can stare at it for hours!

Looking at their route, one thing they really should take in is Glacier National Park. Either way they come, they aren't too far away from it, and the "Going to the Sun Road" hands down has better scenery than anything you'll see in Yellowstone. It'll be open in August. They can start on the west side, head down to Great Falls, and still make it to Yellowstone from there. I've heard that camp sites do fill up fast, but can't help you with a website. Might want to check out KOA and see what comes up. Also, make sure they get some huckleberry ice cream!

Awesome Job!

Well then, I will NOT tell you that I got it from Scrolleronline.com. I don't recall who the designer is, but could look through my patterns and see.

I grew up on a farm/ranch here in NE Montana. Agriculture has been a huge part of my life. My brother and I definitely helped out/worked on the farm with Dad while growing up. After high school, I went on to college and majored in Animal Science and Ag Education. My first post graduate job was on a large cattle ranch in Central Montana. We most tasks the old way due to the efficency, ease, and cost of doing it that way. We worked and doctored the cattle horseback, even fed through winter with horse teams and sleds. Honestly, the most enjoyable I've ever had. I think if there had been more opportunity to grow and increased pay, I'd still be there. Now, I'm running the Credit Union back in my hometown, and we specialize in Ag Lending. I do get to help out my folks and some of the old neighbors whenever I want to get out of the office, but also get to do what I can to make our members' farming operations work financially. I think my passion for Ag and this area does show up some in my woodworking. I do quite a bit of work with old barnwood, and as you can see, do have quite a few farm/ranch based projects. I see that this topic was started in November, and apologize for not posting until now.

I used to use Internet Explorer for everything, but kept running into the same problem you have. It seems as though as websites and other features update, some browsers can't keep up. I've never had any issues using Chrome and am slowly switching all my usage over to it. By the way, kudos for banking at a Credit Union!

Beautiful work!!!

Beautiful work!

Finally finished up this Barn and got it delivered. It is mostly 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch plywood. All of the interior, windows, and doors were cut with the scroll saw. Everything else was cut on the table or miter saws. Curtiss Barn Video.mp4

The pigeons wearing hats likely has something to do with the National Finals Rodeo going on in Vegas. 10 straight days of rodeo to crown the world champions for the year.

9"???? We can't have water lines anything less than 8 feet deep here. Last Sunday morning it was -15. Normally we don't get quite this cold this early in the season. Looks like its going to be a long winter in the north country.

Welcome!

When did they start putting transmissions in ellipticals??? If it breaks down, do you send it in, or have your mechanic buddy over to look at it?

I with you on Neil Diamond. "Sweet Caroline" sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. Another one most people like that I can't stand is U2.

Beautiful work!!!

Awesome! My daughter loves those books too.

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing your work.
