I'm really partial to dragons, really interesting imagery. Looking forward to seeing your future efforts.

I've tried the laser printer transfer, both acetone and heat, before with hit and miss success. This could all be my fault, not saying it's not worth a try. A gentleman named Brad Rodriguez has a YouTube channel called "Fix this build that" and recently covered multiple ways of transferring to wood. I thought he did a good job and plan to try some of his methods in the future. Link to his video below. 5 ways to print to wood

That's truly a masterpiece. Hope it's handed down in your family for generations to come.

Very nice and perfect for the season.

Gotta agree, Clint's da man! Excellent work.

Amazing and beautiful work! Your videos are absolutely inspiring. Talk about making things look easy.

Congrats! I do the same, I sell some things from a former hobby to finance shop improvements/upgrades. Hope you share some pics when it arrives.

Absolutely beautiful.

Wow, that's really impressive in all sorts of ways. Beautiful work. Hope the weather is better for you next year. -
Wow, that's pretty scary. Glad the damage wasn't any worse. The thing that always cracks me up is if you were trying to do that, you wouldn't be able to in a month of Sundays.

Very nice! I printed this one out awhile back thinking it looked fairly straightforward. Then I took a closer look and haven't been brave enough to start it yet. lol

Very nice. I bought a set of patterns for 3D ornaments, but haven't gotten around to trying them yet.

I've had a RZ mask for several years and really like it even though I know I don't wear it as often as I should. It is very comfortable and seem to do a good job at filtration. They claim to be 99.9% effective, but are not NIOSH or OSHA approved. One small thing that I really like is that they are available in bright colors which make them easier to locate when left laying around the shop.

Definitely check around for local retail hardwood lumber stores. The one in my area almost has boxes or bags of cut offs and scraps for sale on the cheap. I sort thru for the good stuff and burn the rest in the stove. Ask if they don't have any out, I've heard stories of people being given all they can carry just for asking. Good luck in your search.

Very nice. Extremely festive

Brenda, just a couple more thoughts on your danish oil that I don't believe anyone else mentioned. You didn't say, but I'm assuming that you used a plastic container. It would be possible that the solvent in the finish began to soften the finish. There are so many kinds of plastic these days it's difficult to know what reacts with certain finishes. Some finishes dry so quickly that they can react just from the air in a large container. Basically a 1/4" of finish left in a quart size container for example. This is why they don't recommend pouring finish back into the original can. Even the amount of oxygen absorbed by the returned portion can start the can to solidify. Just my 2 cents.

They are all awesome, too difficult to pick just one. One more thing for my "gotta make" list.

Beautiful stuff! MY favorite is the mountain and pine trees.

I've heard that called rainbow poplar before and it can be really spectacular. Where I buy the majority of my lumber sells boxes or bags of their cut-offs and scraps for a buck or two. I buy them mainly for firewood, but always sort thru looking for hidden gems and occasionally find a piece of dark poplar. The tree on the right is from some of my "scrap firewood".

That is kinda odd. You'd think that all comes out of the corporate office and it'd be a pain to have some with and some without the offer... and cause general descension in the ranks.

Thanks Ray. I thought about doing that and then forgot to. Link to flyer

Good for you guys! My wife spent the majority of her career as a geriatric nurse so I have some appreciation for nursing home residents.

Very lucky friend. Beautiful work.
