  1. I would like to thank @multitom for this great pattern, given so freely. Thank you Mahendra. I hope I did it justice.. This is from a pattern taken from an oil painting that I have, it's to go in my hallway.
  2. Beautiful !! Such patience I can only dream of. x
  3. I use Danish Oil for all my pieces. I usually just apply it with a brush in the 'tiny' bits and a sponge on the 'flat' bits. However, I've just 'oiled' a piece and it seemed to take forever to get into those tiny cuts. I know that some of you 'dip' your pieces and that makes sense, but !! When I did this 'once', although I agree it was quick and simple, after I put the oil back into the can it seemed to 'go off' rather quickly and ended up throwing away almost half a can. Now, my question is... Did I do something 'wrong' when I returned the oil to the can and is there a way to do this procedure and not ruin what for me is quite an expensive commodity. ?
  4. Really nice piece, I love owls
  5. Welcome to the village Richard, it's a great place to be. Lots of knowledgeable scrollers like yourself and all very friendly and welcoming. Enjoy.
  6. Go Kevin !!!!
  7. Very Best Wishes for a speedy recovery Ralph from this side of the ocean.
  8. You are right to be very proud of him, that's wonderful news. Give him my Congratulation and Best Wishes for a great career. Great piece too. !
  9. Oh WOW !! That is Awesome. !!!
  10. Nice !!!
  11. Beautiful !!
  12. That is debatable my friend, you are worth far more than that, but if you enjoyed doing them then that's all that matters. Keep safe and well and busy.
  13. He looks very content in that lovely bird feeder. A very cheeky chappie
  14. Welcome to the Village, lots of lovely people here, all very happy to help. Enjoy.
  15. Stunning piece, beautifully cut and a great synopsis of the car. !
  16. We've all been there Kevin, so don't fret. The more you worry and stress the more you'll make yourself poorly. All will come back to you at some point so just try and relax a little. Take care of yourself my friend.
  17. I saw this and had to cut it, for no other reason than it made me chuckle. Straight off the saw so no finish or finesse or backer added yet. 20200712_175958[1].mp4
  18. Must admit Ray, I thought they were all replaceable no matter which saw. Just goes to show how much I know.
  19. That looks great. What a neat idea. !
  20. Well, I've had my new saw now for two weeks and I've used it every day almost. What I'm quite childishly happy with is that the 'insert' is still like new !!! That means that all the lessons about 'offering the wood to the blade' - 'let the blade cut the wood' - 'don't push' - 'relax and breathe', that all you good people have given me since I joined almost 2yrs ago must have actually sunk in !!! Just wanted to say a Huge Thank You to all of you.
  21. It's an amazing pattern in that whoever did it made is so simple yet so effective. As you say, only two cuts and an easy piece to cut.
  22. Done as a favour for a friend.
  23. Beautifully done both cutting and the amazing painting. !!
  24. Kirk, what on earth is a chimichanga ? Nice piece Brent, love the burning.
