  1. Beautiful piece... and I'm sure you didn't complete that in an afternoon.
  2. I think it turned out fantastic. Although I didn't see any places you used sawdust putty, I would have left it as is. That's Mother Nature's way of showing her beauty!
  3. Great job, Timothy. The frames really make them both pop! I also like the fact that you stained the backer boards so the grain in the wood shows through. I think it adds to both pieces.
  4. That piece really blossomed! The finish product is great.
  5. Beautiful piece that will last years. Congrats
  6. Nice job, Paul. And thank you for your service!
  7. As I said in another forum, Denny, You did a great job. I need to subscribe to that magazine.
  8. As jr42 said, Looks nice. Hope the girls do too! Good luck!
  9. Well done. Would never have noticed the boo-boo if you hadn't pointed it out. Took me a little to find it on the picture before the repairs. Nice job all the way around.
  10. Nice project, George. Very clean. Love you colors.
  11. Jim, don't find a new designer!!! I happen to have experience with some of his designs and know he is pretty darn good. Great project that turned out fantastic. Another on my "to do" list.
  12. Great piece, Charlie. And great job on the pattern. Like Scrappile, I found the initials.
  13. Great job, Tbow. I like that the rough cut wood and grain compliments the subject matter. Was the cedar that color or did you add stain? Is the pattern from the Village library? I'm working on a three piece project right now but am considering a multi-piece native American group somewhere down the road.
  14. Hi Joe, I think this is the same material I have used a few times as backer boards. I have also cut some key chains. The material I have looks like plywood but doesn't have the nice grain like what you posted from Lowes. As far as pricing, I can get birch and maple 1/4 plywood 2' X 4' for about $15. It's been about a month since I last purchased any so that price may have gone up or down. I think it would work well for ornaments. It's light and by stack cutting you reduce the chance of breakout on thin cuts. Good luck!
  15. I hadn't noticed the grain until after I applied the natural stain. I liked how it turned out also. Thanks for you comment!
  16. Excellent piece, Pete. The color you used in the epoxy for the leaves are super. I've considered adding epoxy to some of my projects but just haven't gone that far yet. The idea of applying the epoxy is smart because that will prevent condensation from dripping through the cuts of the trivets and possibly ruining furniture.
  17. Good luck Scott. Would love to come down and meet you there but unfortunately my 89 y/o mother fell and broke her hip about a month ago. I'll be going to do what I can for her. She lives in the opposite direction otherwise it's about an hour and a half drive for me.
  18. Nice work, Kevin. I'm guessing this picture was taken before you drove off with it on your car. I can imagine how you felt. Kind of like an emptiness in the pit of your stomach.
  19. Great job, WolfmoonCT. Very clean cuts all around and no one could go wrong using maple.
  20. Nice pattern. Looking forward to seeing your final project.
  21. You did great on these, Dick. I'm sure your wife is elated. (Happy wife, happy life!)
  22. I've seen that pattern and almost got it to cut myself. You did an excellent job. Still may fall on my "to do" list down the road.
  23. A great pattern and a great cutting. Those thin cuts can be delicate.
  24. Great job, Brenda.
  25. Sorry to hear that. Regardless, We, here on the forum, know what it takes to scroll quality projects such as you have done here.
