  1. Marg, thank you so much. I have learned so much from being part of the SSV.... your work and many others on here have truely inspired me. Thank you again!
  2. Pete. That is really nice of you....I am really glad you like it. I do love blue ribbons
  3. RJ, thank you. I have never heard of craftswomanship...kind of like the sound of it...even though it is a mouthful....thanks again
  4. Welcome to the village from Washington State. I too use the scroll saw with carving. I am learning both pretty much at the same time. I have learned so much from the folks here. . Looking forward to seeing some of your work.
  5. Those are wonderful! That looks like a lot of work! Washington looks great!
  6. Dick, thank you! That is an interesting point, I am unsure what I am going to do with this. I just had it bugging me in my brain to make it.... and with Dick @heppnerguy and Paul's @Scrappile help with the logistics of how to make it all come together (from my drawing), and then later bouncing ideas off of @Charlie E for the background, I was able to complete it....So, I feel it was a group effort. I am certain it wouldn't be as nice without all of their help. I am thinking of entering it in the Spokane Interstate Fair for Judging. I would also like to make another one like it except with a nighttime theme. Thanks again.
  7. Mark, Thanks so very much! I am happy you like it. My type of scroll sawing is pretty easy, I just kind of make it up while I am sawing so if I go "outside the lines" no one knows. Plus, I could never do hats, figure out bobble heads or do other beautiful work that you do!
  8. Ron, thank you so very much. As always, a compliment like that coming from you is very encouraging to me. Thanks again!
  9. Charlie, Thank you for noticing!
  10. Oh, I am so happy Patti liked it. It was so nice meeting her when I was over there. Please tell her 'Hi' for me!
  11. Dave, coming from the artist that you are, that is quite the compliment. Oh, and yes, I painted it yesterday...I guess I better add that bit to my post
  12. Thank you Paul, I am glad you like it your opinion means a lot to me. Thank you for all your encouragement as I muddle through all of this.
  13. Peruvian walnut and Canary 3/4+ thickness wood. The tree has multiple layers. I again used Dave's @Dave Monk technique for layering the tree. If you look closely you can see an old fence in the distance. p.s. I painted the painting yesterday to compliment the tree...
  14. Okay, that makes sense...thank you so much Dave, mc
  15. Dave that is absolutely beautiful! So I am curious, you inlayed the flowers, which I assume you cut at an angle, but did you do another layer of wood under the top so that is why we don't see the bottom of the flowers onced you open the lid....hope my question makes sense....Marie
  16. I have never seen a rocking chair clock before, that is very nice and I like your choice of wood. Great work!
  17. Wow, that is an amazing box! I love the color of the mahogany. Very nicely done.
  18. Don, that is a great design. So did you use magnets on both pieces or steel on one piece and a magnet on the other? That looks like a great Christmas gift for my sewing friends....Thank you so much for sharing!
  19. Me too. This was a very helpful thread even if it went on a tangent. Thanks James for starting the conversation!
  20. Dave, what are "super sharps" I have never heard of them....mc
  21. Wonderful Spoon! You have inspired me...I think I am going to make one with a really long handle so when I make my raspberry, apricot or peach jam the steam won't burn my hands. I will try to make mine fancy like yours. Excellent spoon.
  22. James, that is one good looking cat! Wonderful job.

    Hi ya.

    Welcome back from Eastern Washington State. I am fairly new to the Forum (about 6 mths) so probably didn't know you when you were previously on here.
  24. Charlie, excellent work! I saw her crazy dance a few months back...it would be fun to try to do that dance...I know a whole bunch of folks have copied her dance. If you haven't seen it, be sure to Google it.
  25. okay, please send me pics. I will also look on line. I thought I remember a larger thing that looked like the "puffer"...was that a dust collector tube? I will plan to make another trip down there to see my frield....hopefully before the Summer is out. Will let you know if that happens. Thanks so much!
