Thanks for the nice comment, Marg. Glad you liked it. Do you have many lighthouses in Australia? It was good to hear from you again, Dick

Jim, I certainly agree with you that serving as a college professor for 57 years is a very commendable achievement and your superb creative woodwork is a fitting tribute to his efforts. He will appreciate this forever. Well done! Dick Mira

I appreciate your wonderful comments, Larry. Thanks, Dick

Thanks Ralph, for the very nice comments. You would start this technique like I did...with your first one. I usually recommend that you start with your least liked scrolled piece...we all have one of these

Very well done. My favorite scrolling subject is wildlife animals and I have already done three projects with foxes. Dick

Thanks Denny, for your kind words about this little kitten. I am still waiting to see what you created with the reclaimed American chestnut boards I had sent to you Regards, Dick
