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.

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...

Okay, that makes sense...thank you so much Dave, mc

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

I have never seen a rocking chair clock before, that is very nice and I like your choice of wood. Great work!
-
Wow, that is an amazing box! I love the color of the mahogany. Very nicely done.
-
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!
-
Me too. This was a very helpful thread even if it went on a tangent. Thanks James for starting the conversation!

Dave, what are "super sharps" I have never heard of them....mc

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.

James, that is one good looking cat! Wonderful job.

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.

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.
-
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!
-
I don't feel I am having an allergic reaction just some irritation of my eyes. No respiratory or itchy stuff going on. I think a dust collection system would be a great idea for me though. Thank you for your concern and help. Very much appreciated!

Eric, that is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Thurman, thank you. I like 3M masks but I have the GVS mask https://www.gvs.com/en/catalog/elipse-p100-niosh-respirator because I have a pretty small face and it fits me. I will see if the 3M ones come in a small. But I do were my mask all the time I work with any wood (maybe I need to wear it when playing with my kitten - see post to Kevin). Yes, that is a good idea to check with the database. I purchased this walnut at an estate sale and thought it would work out for my next cutting. So I am super slow but it is coming along. It will be a picture of a tree/landscape. I am making it up as I go along (which is what I do) I will post it in the "Bragging" section in probably a few weeks at the rate I am moving. Thanks again!

Oh, I get what you are saying. That is interesting.....I do wash up afterwards... especially my face and hands. Also, thanks for the tip for the Fredmeyer filter. I will check that out. Thanks again
-
Kevin, as I said to Larry, I will try my festool a little farther away. Thanks for the tip on the puffer...I will be able to move that after looking at it. ... That would be cool to set up the exhaust booster fans and pipe it outside. I may consider something like that since I bet they are quieter. I would need to rearrange my shop but I might try that if the festool doesn't work for me. I just realized that I started working with this peruvian walnut about the same time I got this (see below)....do you think that might be my problem?

Larry, I do have a Festool, I can't remember the model, but it seems still noisy....since the hose is pretty long maybe I will try to move it away more and set up some sort of dust collection set up. I have my ceiling filtration system on chains hanging from the rafters. I will try to lower it since I do feel you are correct about where it is. Plus it is a pain to change the filters up there. Thank you so much for your help.
-
Kevin, Thank you...I think that would be a great idea since I don't want to pull my ceiling mounted system down. Since, I know you are familiar with the EX 21, is there a way that I can put the puffer on the other side so it blows the other direction. Right now, the puffer is puffing toward the (right) wrong side and I cannot put the fan on that side. I am limited on where I can put my scroll saw. Thanks again.
-
Wow, I wish I had A/C....No luck there since my shop is squeezed into my Husband's large orchard building (I do run in the walk in cooler to cool off sometimes, though ). I am guilty of just using the 'puffer'...Looks like I will need to look into a quiet dedicated dust contol system for the scroll saw.
-
Thank you. Do you know where I might find the 3M charcoal flat sheet filter? I could add it to my filtration system. I think I will look into safety goggles with reading lenses and set up a dust collection system. I know when I wear goggles when I peel onions I never cry anymore So I am hoping this will help with the OV or dust. I do not do well on OTC allergy meds...I either fall asleep or am crazy 'wired' (depending on the brand) so best for me to stay away from those. Thanks again for your help.

I have a large dust collection system in my shop but it is sooo loud that I haven't set it up for my scroll saw...I just don't want to wear hearing protection when I scroll. I do have a filtration system but it is hanging up in the rafters.... You are probably correct in that I may be sensitive to the Peruvian Walnut (don't seem to have much trouble with the Walnut from around the US) I do have a few shopvacs for certain items, as wel,l but they are pretty noisy ....Do you know of a quieter shop vac... When I went to Paul's @Scrappile place I noticed he had a dust collection set up but I don't recall it turning on when I briefly sawed so was unsure how loud it was. I may need to run over to see him again and see how he had his dust collection set up. It looked pretty cool....That if he will invite me over again

So, I am not really too concerned with a piece flying up in the air and getting in my eye (I just wear regular reading glasses when I scroll saw). But I have notice my eyes are getting irritated (blood shot), after sawing, especially Peruvian Walnut. What are you folks wearing? I was thinking of looking for some "reader" goggles while I saw. Any recommendations would be really appreciated.
