Beautiful work, Barb - but that has become the "standard" for what you produce. Bruce

Fighting "micro dust" has spawned an entire industry. You can buy air purifiers starting in the $100's and proceeding into the $1000's. I concluded to use an N-95 face mask and let the rest fall where it may. Bruce

Welcome to the Village, J, from frigid Minnesota. The scroll saw is a magic carpet to take artistry into so many directions. Your initial efforts look great. I look forward to seeing how you adapt this wonderful tool with your artistic instincts!! Bruce

Great way to honor him. The 60's were turbulent times - especially for the U.S. Navy. Your attention to his memory is wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Bruce

As a Vietnam vet I am so moved by the attention and expressions of gratefulness afforded to vets today. When this new trend began, I was moved to tears when I first encountered a sales clerk who thanked me for my service. During the war, I was stationed in San Diego. Every day we drove past war protestors at the main gate to the Naval Air Station with "baby killer" signs and other insulting language I won't repeat. When we returned to the States from our Vietnam deployment we were told we should not wear our uniforms or any other clothing that might identify us as active duty military. Thank you for your efforts to acknowledge and honor those who serve. It is a healing salve for all vets.

The combined effect is terrific. Well done!!

Love it! The detail that went into that design is awesome! Bruce

Looks like you listened to Yoda - "Try not! Do or do not! There is no try." Nice job! Bruce

As usual, you have done the pattern beautifully. I love the walnut surround. Absolutely first-rate, Barb. Bruce

That is absolutely first rate! How thick is that stock? Bruce

Jim, that is a beautifully executed work of art. I have done a number of Sheila Landry's plaques and they are so well designed. I have avoided oak as, early on, I found that with 3/8" thick stock it was more inclined to break at those critically thin "drop-out bridges". I have settled on cherry but in doing so the cost of the work has ramped up. I suspect that early-on in scrolling, my rather ham-fisted technique was more the problem than the wood...... By the way, I played around with designing a plaque featuring the Bretons Fisherman's Prayer and could not come up with a design that pleased me. I sent the text to their website and Keith came up with this: As a Naval Aviator catapulted off the ship in a blue water (no land in sight horizon-to-horizon and no land within reach of your fuel capacity) I experienced first hand the sobering reality behind that piece. Keep cutting!!!!! Bruce
