    My daughter had a concert grand Marimba and all the keys were out of rose wood because they create such a beautiful tone...wonder if it would apply to picks?

    Have you gotten feedback on how well the pics work? Are they out of rosewood?

    Rick, I don't know if he had. I did see he commented on mine. I actually modified his (I just did it by hand) from his picture he posted. I didn't want to cut/carve so many leaves because I am such a procrastinator that I had to do some pruning on the pattern to get it done on time His cutting is really nice though.

    Dan, thank you so much for creating this pattern. I was in a bit of a hurry so I had to cut a few branches and leaves off your original pattern but I absolutely loved it. Your cutting was so much better than mine but I do like how it carved out. Thanks again.

    Marg, thank you for your kind words...And good guess on the flowers

    Thanks Paul, I modified the cutting from Fish's pattern because I just didn't want to cut out all those leaves (kind of a procrastinator on this one). I am having trouble with my Excalibur EX-21. It actually took me twice as long to cut this out than it did to carve it. The tension isn't holding on the saw and it isn't because of my Pegas clamps, because I changed out the knobs, etc. on it. I contacted @kmmcrafts and he tried to help but it was getting too complicated for me. So I went ahead and purchased a King 21. (this is the previous model made in Taiwan). Anyway, thank you again.

    Thank you Jim, It looks more glossy than it does in real life. I used Deft Satin lacquer spray with the deft sealer underneath.

    Thanks Jerry, I agree with you about home made gifts....She is a special friend.

    Thank you so much.....I was lucky on the piece of walnut... the diameter is 8 inches. The thickness of the cutting is roughly 1/2" and the backer board is about 1/4". thanks again

    I saw a picture of a tree of life cut out on here that I liked by @Fish a month ago or so....So I cut this out of a piece of Walnut I found in my scrap pile. I really loved the grain. I made it for a church friend of mine so the two flowers that I carved and painted are suppose to represent our friendship. I am giving it to her this next week for her birthday.

    I decided to purchase and download the entire catalog of Steve's (took a couple of times). He had a couple patterns I really liked but I had to simplify it because I will be using it in my next scroll saw class. I have always promoted his work and website to all my students. This one is out of a 2x4 and some walnut. I purchased the wheels, etc.

    I am so very sorry to hear this news. I have used Steve's patterns in my scroll saw classes and have always enjoyed seeing his smiling face on so many of the downloaded patterns. He was such a great and generous soul. My heart just aches for you and your family. My prayers are with you during this difficult time. Marie

    As always, very Amazing!

    Great find but even better scrolling. Your hand must be all healed up by now.

    It was such a fun little project to do in 2 hrs (3 hrs with paint, finish and glue up). I timed it and used it in my intro to scroll saw class with out the letters. The students just loved it. One of them was going to go home and paint the sign with chalk board paint so they could write on it different things. The rest I gave wood letters I got from a hobby store so they could paint them and glue up their project at home. I took them about 3 - 3.5 hrs to cut it out. But they all really enjoyed the entire experience.
