    Thanks Marg. Each one comes out a little different due to the shaping, which I like. I think I've made 10 so far and haven't got to keep one for myself yet. I've done a few with maple or mahogany on top and oak underneath which gives them a nice look, like a bird with a lighter colored breast. I sand them down to 400 grit and finish with oil. They really are therapeutic to hold and rub with your fingers and thumb. My grandson who has ADD and loves to fidget loves his.

    Tried something new today. Comfort Birds. I started with a compound cut bird then used some different sanders to do the rounding and shaping. They feel great in your hand. I enjoyed carrying mine today while walking and reading. Kind of like a soothing fidget toy.

    Beautiful work, Barb! My wife loves succulents. I tried two of them and killed them both. This may be the route I should go.

    I love that. Nicely done!

    Just incredibly beautiful, Dave.

    Thank you. It’s a piece of oak from an old pallet. I’ve bought hundreds of dollars worth of wood. The prettiest ones with the most character are usually free.

    I’ve enjoyed making some simple things lately. My sister in law wanted a Celtic Cross. I found an outline I liked online to use as a pattern. I stack cut two 3/8” oak crosses, then removed the circle from the top one, routed it then glued them together

    I used a #3FDUR (Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse)

    I listened to both of those when I was cutting it.

    Thanks. Actually I like cutting oak because it’s slower, so mistakes don’t happen so quickly.

    Wow! I love the subject and the cutting. Excellent work! What size is it? I love all things LOTR but not sure I have the patience for that.

    Looks great! Perfect piece of wood.

    Simple piece that brings back memories of country church singing from my childhood.

    Holy cow, Dave! Looks like perfection to me. Fantastic cutting!

    Sounds like my house.

    Great job, Paul! Thank God for kids!

    Thanks, Marie. Yes. First I just did the scalloped circle and sea turtle. I thought of the dolphins around 8PM and I’m kind of obsessive compulsive so I went out to the shop and added them before bedtime. The turtle and dolphins were images I found on Google.

    I’m still dabbling in making sea glass. My cousin saw it on Facebook and asked for some. I decided to scroll a sea themed coaster to display it on. The sea turtle will rarely been seen but then I’ve never seen one in the wild, and I see dolphins pretty much every beach trip.

    Thanks, and sorry about that. I've opened it several times with no problems or warnings. Who knows?

    Thanks, Dick. Hopefully seeing the duck she gave me will be a daily reminder to practice kindness.
