    That came out beautiful. Well done all around.

    Stunning. Here is the pattern to make it easier to find than digging through the files.

    Heirloom piece for certain. Well done.

    I was paying 15 a sheet last year and 35 a few weeks ago. But in perspective, everything else has gone up as well. Too bad we can't raise our prices like that. But I won't quit my work. I just find ways of being more efficient to offset the costs increases.

    Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder they say. Did you enjoy your time making them? Win Win.

    Stunning workmanship for sure.

    I get the little guide marks on the multiple pages using Adobe Reader. Not sure about other programs. The guide marks sure help to line up the multiple pages on the larger patterns. Some program I used prior to Adobe didn't have them and it was hard...at least for me. I cut most of what I cut with straight blades. Been using them for, ah, let's just say a few years, so I'm used to them and I like the crispness I get. I only use spirals for extremely large pieces.

    Which pattern? I'll check to see what size I posted it.

    I really love what you did there. I have a fondness for paper cut patterns, but when I modify them to make them scrollsaw friendly, they are the same in regards to close and narrow lines. But again, If I cut that I would certainly be proud to call it my own.

    Great job all around, Guaranteed you have more patience than I to do all those colors underneath. But the results are certainly worth the effort.

    Her you go DakOta52. I did both the patterns. I'm going to do the cropped version on a piece of live edge cherry, and only have 12" in width to work with. As to changing the color on Inkscape, I believe the problem was that the pattern was in gray. I just tried it and had to fist changed the pattern to black and then when I loaded it on Inkscape, I could change it to red. This computer and technology stuff keeps me realizing why I need my grandchildren to help me do things with my phone.

    I'll send it to you in red. Also, if you download Adobe Reader, you can print any sized pattern although it will be in sections with guide marks so you can line up the sections. Let me get that to you in red. BRB.

    I put up all of the Americana Series patterns I could find earlier today. Enjoy the ones you like. Also, if you have any other ideas or images you would like to see made scrollable. don't hesitate to reach out. Happy to assist where and when I can.

    I wouldn't have even tried that pattern at 8 1/2 X 11. I cut it at 11 X 14 and it was 385 cuts with some of them being pretty tight as it was. You Da Man Brent.

    YES. Keeping up with the Honey Do List is essential to one's survival. I'm retired so I was thinking I'd have more time to work in the shop. Sadly however, my Honey Do List has turned into a scroll, a never ending one too. LOL We don't have snakes up here nor grass this time of year, but I'm getting tired of shoveling snow. It's keeping me from working in my shop.

    I'll make sure I get them all to you. I may have not loaded them all up in the files here.

    I really do love the rustic style of framing. Might have something to do with me being sort if rustic myself. LOL

    Awesome work and presentation. The 2 of them do complement one another for sure. I believe there are a couple more in that series that would be a nice addition for a collage. As to trying out your new router, it looks like you have it mastered quite well.

    It's the holiday season, so it's all good. But trust that in 20 years she will remind you of it.

    We have had the crystal Nativity set for years. I decided to design a fretwork lightbox for it as an early Christmas present for my wife. She is speechless. Win Win!!!

    My theory on frames is that your eye should go to the portrait and not the frame. Therefore, I would use a simple frame and a narrow matt to further set the portrait off, something like Dave did there with the wolf.

    Present for my wife, not yet completed. 12 X 12", papercut pattern cut with a scrollsaw on a 2 stack 1/8" BB. Deciding on the color for the backer and frame.
