    Thanks, Jerry. The oak used to make these was harvested and rough-sawn to 8/4 dimensions by the my father-in-law - the kid's great grandfather. I used tools inherited by their other great grandfathers and their great great grandfather. The note in the box goes into all of that so there are some unique details I hope they will appreciate.

    Thanks, Frank. They were fun to make. The grandkids are all "Pre-career" but love to draw and design. I am trying to feed their creative hunger with non-electronic solutions.

    Nice work, indeed. That is spectacular! Bravo Zulu!!

    I would have chosen differently but "Nothing quite so curious as folks." You did a nice job with it!

    If you are unfamiliar with creating bridges, Travis has done a great tutorial to help you out using Inkscape. You will be in a position to choose any font that pleases your eye. Bruce

    You have the power options down. I have collected 3 of these over the past 50 years and the oldest one is still going strong. They are my "go-to" tool for rubbing out a lacquer finish with 400, 600 and even 2000 grit wet or dry sand paper. https://smile.amazon.com/3M-05519-Sanding-Block-Rubber/dp/B002MDHECA/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2B2Z47EXDDWCP&keywords=3m+sanding+blocks&qid=1670214337&sprefix=3m+sanding+blocks%2Caps%2C113&sr=8-4

    I am tempted to shout "Oh Deer!" but I wouldn't do that.....oh wait.... Nicely done!!

    I like them - a lot. Well done!!

    Beautiful. The detail is very compelling!
  11. Blaughn
    I love the appearance of "action" having the tree bend to the ornament! Well done.

    Beautiful. Well done!

    Beautiful and timeless! Well done. Bruce

    Very nice. It brings a context and focus to the figurines.

    I like it - a lot! The piece invites a second and even third look to catch the detail. Well done! Bruce
  16. Blaughn
    Nice. The shapes and colors provide a kind-of action to the piece.

    Well done. Pete, I hope you will do a how-to on using epoxy. Bruce

    Well done! I am tempted to say that you might need to explain what a shawl is for today's generation.

    Well done - great variety too!

    Finally finished. I found working with the red oak to be extremely difficult for achieving the lacquered finish on top. The three on the right are red oak with walnut inlay. The other 3 are white oak with Jaboba wood inlay. The interiors each contain a Pentel .5mm and .7mm "Quicker Clicker Pencils", spare lead for each, spare erasers for each plus a Staedler eraser and an eraser template held by a magnet in the cover.

    Designer kindling - I love it. I may try that term out on my wife. To her it is "boxes and boxes of scrap".
  22. Blaughn
    Great save! I have a love/hate relationship with scrap. I love using it for projects. I hate that as soon as I decide to toss some of it out I realize I could have used some ot what I tossed. I'm sure I am alone in this.........

    I like those, a lot - I might have experimented with even larger eyes...! To my eye, jaundiced though it may be , The grain works better oriented in the vertical. Well done! Bruce

    Nice execution of a great idea. Well done!!
