    I must say that was a "Great Save." My wife can't understand why I save all of my scrap... even 1/4 X 1/4 twigs I saw off the end of pieces. I can use them to stir epoxy. Want not, waste not! Great job on your ornaments.

    Dick, you've been busy with some outstanding work... but remember your health is more important. Be sure to take care of yourself.

    I finished this Jim Blume pattern using Birch and Maple stained with Minwax Natural. The Birch has a black backer and the Maple backer is stained with Minwax Espresso. The frames are custom cut using pre-fab framing material. Both pieces were sprayed with four coats of Polyacrylic with light sanding between coats. They were cut using Pegas 2/0 and 0 spiral blades. Thanks, Jim, for a great pattern. I do enjoy cutting his patterns and already have the next one ready to cut although I have a couple commissions I'll have to work in there somewhere.

    Great job, Matt. I was thinking the same thing as Charlie. My saw is only 16-inches so I would have to cut something that large with spirals.

    Great idea, Dan! They really turned out great. When she starts showing them to her friends you'll probably have requests to do more.

    Wow! And I was worn out doing six signs the other week.

    Sure Charlie!!! I could cover a tattoo with no problem... but it would only last until you took a shower. After all, it is watercolor!

    This is the piece that was a double stack and delaminated when I removed the painter's tape. I finally got around to adding a little color in hopes of covering up the delamination. This piece is cut on 1/4-inch Birch ply stained Natural with a 1/4-inch Birch backer board stained Espresso. The coloring is watercolor. After staining and coloring it was sprayed with several coats of polyacrylic sanded with 600 grit between coats. This was the first time using my new spray gun to spray the finish. Frame is pre-made framing material that I scuffed and restained with espresso to darken it up where it would be tinted closer to the backer board. The pattern is by Birchbark.

    Wow! That looks like it could have been a production piece in a mill. Excellent Tbow.

    Great job, Barb!

    Great job and neat design. The elm is darker than what I imagined it would be.
  22. Dak0ta52
    Nicely done, Barb!
  23. Dak0ta52
    Sometimes the imperfections in the wood give the piece character. Very nicely done!

    This is a Steve Good pattern cut using 3/4 pine ply. This didn't stay on the table long before it was scooped up.

    Very nice work as usual, Frank. The leopard eyes seem to follow you.
