    We are attempting to find the pattern designer for the RACCOON.

    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.

    This pattern is from Creative Woodworks and Crafts, March 1998 This oak was a hard wood to cut and carve so I do appreciate all the fine comments. Happy New Year Have a great year scrolling! Dick Mira

    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

    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

    Approximately two months ago, heppnerguy posted a picture of a fabulous wolf scrollsaw project he had done on the Scrollsaw Village forum that was a beautiful realistic cutting of a wolf. It inspired me to do another wolf woodworking project. I then received a call from my nephew who recommended that I cut a wolf as my next woodworking project. He is a graduate of North Carolina State University and loves their wolfpack. This grey wolf is scrolled on a piece of reclaimed American chestnut wood that is 13" x 10" x 5/6" thick using Flying Dutchman New Spiral blades 1, 2/0, and 3. The scrolled project is then carved with a Foredom Rotary carver and then painted with acrylic paints. A similar board was spray painted black on one side and then glued on the back of the scrolled piece as a backer, resulting in a finished project that was 1 3/8 thick. Regards to All, Dick Mira

    Frank EV brought up this question regarding the Teddy Bear project he just completed. Interestingly, I just completed a Teddy Bear project using the same Worthington intarsia pattern. I also used a combination of woodworking techniques. I cut the bear pattern from 2" thick mahogany on my scroll saw to create a jagged edge I attached 1/4 inch scrolled pieces with minimal shaping to the front of the bear. Some pieces were painted with oil paints. A cute "statue" was created. My friend built the small table and I used some of the same exotic woods on the little bear. Dick Mira

    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
