    I don't think this pattern was by Steve Good. The search for the real identity is underway'

    This guy applied for the groundhog job in Pennsylvania but was rejected. The weather will still be snow covered for a while in our state.

    Galloping Wild Horses The pattern used in this piece was NOT a typical scroll saw pattern but instead was inspired by a line drawing sketch by Antler Carver Jake Schmidt. I usually study the grain patterns of my boards before selecting a project for that particular board. This piece of white oak had a perfect grain pattern for these wild horses. This board was given to me by my friend. It was one inch thick and 17" x 10" in size. The modified pattern was cut on the scroll saw using # 3 New Radial scroll saw blades by Flying Dutchman and carved with a Foredom Rotary Carver. A black plywood board was attached to the back. The horses were painted with acrylic paint and then, they galloped off into the sunset of the prairie. Merry Christmas to everyone. Dick Mira

    Thanks, the table was made by my woodworking friend from the same exotic hardwoods I used on the teddy bear. Dick
  24. DickMira
    Thanks, Rick. This is inspired by a Worthington intarsia pattern. To start, I cut the outline of the bear in a jagged fashion from a two inch thick board. Then, I cut the rest of the features from 1/4" wood, shaped them and just glued them to the front of the bear. Turned out to be a very simple project. Dick Mira

    Of course, the little ones will need a teddy bear. Dick Mira 8

    Created for an elderly birdwatching friend from a block of black walnut 10"x6"x3" with a scrolled evergreen and a relief carved cardinal and birdhouse in the trees. Dick Mira
