Nice work. The color is really nice, too. I grew up near Effingham and, your picture makes me a bit nostalgic.

Growing up in S. IL, "Hedge" as we called it was plentiful. Fresh cut, it's gorgeous but that color is fleeting. In HS ('59) I turned a lamp base out of it. Finished it with an oil of some sort (can't remember) under shellac. Mom gave it a place of pride, on the piano. It got sun for part of the day. Within six months, or so, that pretty orange turned deep brown.

I'll stick with with my non political Scotch.

Best improvement I've made to a tool in quite some time. They are lighter and easier to use than the originals. The saw seems to run quieter/smoother, too.

I'm glad about a lot of stuff but, I'm REALLY glad that I don't have to wear a mask in stores any more. And, have you noticed that those stupid 6 foot designating circles are wearing off

I'm not a coffee connoisseur. I have but three requirements for a good brew. Hot, black and strong. Not often, but an occasional shot of Jamisons in the cup starts a week end day.

Didn't know Starbucks sold donuts. Well fresh ones, anyway.

I was born in 1941...before we entered the war. I've mostly enjoyed the ensuing 82 years. Well, except for two failed marriages. But neither lasted long enough to severely dampen my enjoyment. Now, happily married for the last 53 years. Our generation has definitely lived through some interesting and, often exciting, times. As Paul said, I wish my grandkids as much fun and smooth sailing as I've had.

I'm a newbie to scrolling but not to woodworking and carpentry. Mark's comment about DF best left for construction is right on. I'd imagine the differing grain hardness in today's DF offerings would be maddening to a scroller.

Sweet cutting of a sweet oldie. Please explain your "paint in" method.

Ditto!

Both cuttings ae fantastic. My favorite is those horses.

If that helical head is the one with individual cutters, I strongly suggest that you buy the removeable cutter tool from Byrd and, religiously and regularly inspect each cutter for dust build up under the cutters. You'll know it's time when grooves start appearing in your planed boards.
