I agree with the majority. Your cutting and coloring are outstanding.
-
Another nicely done project Tbow.
-
Very nice, Marg. I'm sure some of those with a lot of letters were a little tricky having to cut those thin pieces.
-
I, too, like the more complex patterns. Your piece turned out awesome.
-
Thanks so much, Paul. I knew if anyone could do this it would be you. Awesome job!

I've tried creating a pattern on each of these photos but have failed in both cases. One I can't seem to get the eyes right and the other I can't bring out detail in the body. If someone with more experience than I have (and that would be about everyone) please try to create a pattern from one or both of these pictures? The quality of the photos are not great.

Another awesome job, Ron. Love the paint jobs.

Thanks Marie. I'm not making a living off this but it helps paying for the hobby.

Yes it is and I'm loving every minute of it.

I have 3 blades. The saw came with a 5/8 and when I purchased the bandsaw I also purchased a 3/4 and a 3/8. I used the 3/8 to do all the cutting on this box. I use the 3/4 strictly for resawing. The 5/8 is a general purpose. Changing blades on my saw (Rikon 14-inch) isn't so bad but setting up the bearings can be a little tricky. Even being tool-less, it seems every time you move one, it throws another out of adjustment.

I'm still experimenting with creating various bandsaw boxes. I'm not into the exotic pieces you might see on the net and I guess my OCD steers me more towards uniformity. This is my third, the first being slightly smaller with two drawers and the second was pretty large with four drawers. This is a miniature version of the larger one. Because I didn't have Baltic Birch plywood, I had to fill in a lot of voids. The plywood is finished with a Natural stain and the front and back are finished with Ipswich. I put 6-coats of varnish on the entire piece followed by 2-coats of Polyacrylic. I buffed with 000 steel wool between coats of varnish and 500 grit sandpaper between coats of Polyacrylic. The inside of the drawers are finished with royal blue flocking. These are a lot of fun to make but require a lot of work... especially sanding. I've got another block of wood ready to start that will be larger but have a few commissions to finish first.

I haven't posted any work in a while but have been rather busy. My wife showed the piece I did for her of our fur babies to her dog training club and now I'm working on commissions. Not complaining at all. Helps to support the hobby. Anyway, these are two I completed over the weekend and I'm working on another I'll finish tomorrow evening. I'm also working on a rather elaborate Jim Blume piece that I've already worked on for about six hours and I'm only about a fourth of the way done. Another project I completed this past weekend was a bandsaw box but I haven't photographed it yet. Once I do, I'll post a picture of it in the "Other Woodwork." The two pieces below are my typical 1/4-inch stained with either natural or ipswich and a black backer. Frames are custom cut with pre-fabricated framing material. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Wow, Dick. You nailed that one. I believe you hit those colors spot on. Even trimming the heart with the red over the pink shows you have artistic blood running through your veins. On top of the colors, the cutting is fantastic.
-
Clean and colorful. Outstanding!
-
Glad to see you and that you've found your way back to the Village.
-
Lots of delicate work there. Great job.
-
Nicely done. Let us know how your sells go.

You mentioned the eyes were a problem... but I'll have to say you did an outstanding job with the eye. When I'm doing a person or animal pattern I have one eye looking like is supposed to and the other is trying to look around the corner. I'm not much of a "Lord of the Rings" fan but will say you did a great job. I had no trouble recognizing who it was.

That looks like it would be a fun pattern. I'm like Frank, give me lots of fretwork and I'm happy. You did a great job on these and I'd like to see how you finish them out.
-
Another awesome piece, Dick.
-
Beautiful pieces, Frank.
-
Nice idea and I'm sure would be fun for kids... as well as adults. Great job.
-
Another job well don, Dick. I believe that is a Russ Beard pattern.
-
A nice piece made nicer. Way to go Ron.
-
Very cute cut, Dick.
