    Clear gloss lacquer. I paint with flat acrylic paint then top coat with two of clear lacquer.

    Very nice Dick. I do like intarsia.

    Definitely unique. They would make great family presents. Well done.

    Both look really good. I see what you mean by the rose being fragile. A lot of thin cross grain.

    ONYA Smitty, no looking back now,

    I used a scissor jack on my home made table saw, to raise and lower the blade. I also have a hydraulic jack I made into a press to clamp the backers on a number of tray puzzles or portraits at the same time. "That will come in handy one day"

    Not a thing wrong with it, that I can see Brenda. Making your own frames adds a whole other dimension to "Hand Made"

    I would suggest you get hold of a 1/4" chuck of an old drill. Put a bolt in the end that screws onto the drill, cut the head of it and put it in your drill press or other drill. I have used one for years for the smaller bits.

    A nice job Gary. Simple but striking.

    Very nice Brenda. This is the type of pattern that lends itself to spirals.

    Looking good Kev mate.

    I never use oils as a finish, as they offer non, if any; protection to the item. In particular toys as they are handled, played with and get dirty. You can't clean an item if it does not have a proper protective finish.

    The Apple sure never fell far from the tree.

    Great cutting Clayton. I was only watching him in "Rough Riders" a few days ago. No mistaking who it is.

    I deal mostly with Wooden Teddybear as well. It doesn't take much longer for their items to arrive in OZ. Very reasonable postage and very quick.

    Very nice cutting of one of Heldas' patterns. I agree with you wholeheartedly about the members. I like Willy and Waylon and Johnny cash, but as for Kristofferson, I have to agree he makes a far better writer than a singer and that's coming from somebody who couldn't carry tune in a bucket

    Very nice. Stained up OK too.

    Super cutting and cabinetry . A great idea for a wedding present, useful and personal.

    Nice pattern and executed beautifully.

    Cover the piece you are cutting with clear packaging tape, Eliminates the burn marks.

    Well done again Gary. Congratulations mate. Sadly, there are no shows I can enter in within cooee of home. My father, however, has won quite a few ribbons for his woodwork in the "Blind crafts" section of our WA Royal Show.

    A neat idea Brenda. A DIY take on these I first encountered one at the TAFE where my son studies.
