  10. That is the Palace Script MT font with added bridges.
  11. I found I could only work for about 90 minutes before I needed a break. The last few letters were definitely "high intensity" concentration. As a relatively new scrollsawer I have to work very slowly. This piece took me 14 hours of cutting. I am a believer in the old adage "First good, Then fast."
  12. Two and a half ago my best friend, Mike, died unexpectedly in his sleep at age 73. This was Mike's "life verse" and he genuinely lived it. I decided I would design and make a plaque for his widow. To keep it from being grotesquely large the letters had to be quite small. The plaque measures 14" x 8". (The second photo shows a dime in the picture for size perspective.) I made it 1/2 way through the first attempt in cherry before losing a "drop out" and creating some firewood. This second attempt was in Jatoba wood (AKA Brazilian cherry) which has interlocking grain and is less inclined to fail at one of the bridges. This was cut with Flying Dutchman #1 Ultra Reverse blades and I went through 12 of them for this piece. (Jatoba dulls blades incredibly fast.) I found the small letters to be extremely challenging. It is finished with Watco oil and wipe-on Poly.

  15. Very nice piece. I love the way the grain enhances the blown tree effect. Bruce
  16. Great piece, Kevin! Scroll on, Brother! Bruce
  17. Very cool. Have you discovered the tv program Forged in Fire? It is very addicting. Bruce
  18. Nice job. I have come to love the look on peoples' faces when I give them a scrolled gift. In this day and age of computer-generated, high speed manufacturing - nothing speak louder than a handmade piece that is chosen specifically for the recipient.
  19. Nice clean cutting and great outcome!! Nice work!
  20. Wow! Nice work!

  25. That is a beautiful frame - great accent to that artwork! What finish did you use with it?
