Wow Denny, those are amazing. They look like lace....so very pretty!

I would love to see all of them...if you want to post them.

Wow! Wonderful piece! Such a cool idea.

Using the hair drying is a great idea. I suppose a heat gun may even work quicker. I will try that. Thanks for the tip

Those are too cute!!!

I love the boxes. How did the mineral oil/wax turn out?

Awww, Dick, thank you so much...I really am trying to figure out how to do all of this....I kind of make things up as I go along. Sometimes they turn out nice, but others go in the scrap pile. I am learning... which is fun and challenging....this can be addictive I am discovering. Thanks again!

Very beautiful....Good for you for starting something new! It is good to hear someone else is having to give things a few tries. When I first did my first picture (these past weeks) I also did some extra pieces including an entire tree . It seems you are always challenging yourself, no wonder you are such an expert at what you do!

Very nice....Now that is a Grandfather's clock!

I like this one too! Very pretty....Thanks for sharing

Mark, thank you for your kind words. I have seen your amazing work... so coming from you, that is a great compliment. Thanks again!

Thanks so much Dave....It wouldn't have turned out that well without your help...Thanks again!

Awww but you can do faces, especially those cowboys that I could never do! I will stick to my silhouettes ...they are scary enough for me to do...

Thank you to every one! @Scrappile, @Charlie E, @jerry walters I thought I would show you who it will be going to...

Thank you Paul for all of your encouragement. And yes, I saw your work from Fiona and liked some of those ideas. Thanks again!

I do like the Roman numbers for old style clocks....Digital clocks seem to always use arabic numbers

I am slower than molasses in January but I finally got it done. My photography skills aren't very good so I apologize for the glare. So I scrolled sawed my epoxy resin painting.... Here are my steps: I painted a galaxy pic on plywood, added a layer of epoxy resin (made a dam around the wood with tape), painted more stars for depth, another layer of epoxy, airbrushed and added the moon, and another layer of epoxy. Let that dry 2 weeks than scroll sawed my Daughter and her husband's wedding pic (silhouette) into the resin/picture (that was scary). Glued a backing of 1/4" BB on to it, sanded the epoxy, poured black diamond epoxy into the silhouette (unfortunatly the camera does not pick up the sparkles) let that tack up, added another clear layer of epoxy to the entire pic. Added my 3/4" 'tree frame' which are missing a few leaves here and there . I did carve some of the tree frame for fun after I scrollsaw cut it. Added one more layer of epoxy and done! I do want to thank all the folks who have helped me and encouraged me along the way. I did use @Dave Monk technique on "lifting the trees" out of the wood. I also looked at a lot of all of your great works (gallery and bragging rights) to get some of my ideas...Thank you!

I love that old truck! As always, a wonderful job!

It sure is beautiful! I could see that happening especially with 1 inch wood. I do not think anyone but you will notice.... but I know how that goes as well. But I love your tray. Cutting that at an angle must have been tricky.....not sure how one does that.... I haven't seen any vanity trays on here so thank you so much for sharing....maybe I will try to make one some day if I can figure out how to do that angled joinery.

I would vote to paint it too.... Something colorful then you can add it to Travis's "Color challenge"....

I know there are many good paste waxes out there but I use Trewax paste wax. It is made of Brazilian carnuba wax which is the hardest natural wax out there. The folks who sell high-end bronze fountains and statues highly recommend it. So I use it on my machines also and I have absolutely no rust and everything slides nicely on it. Put it on, let it dry and buff it off...

Welcome from Eastern Washington state. I live only 2 hours from Canada....just south of British Columbia....Beautiful area. Love your Loon!

Oh that would be great! Please post it, if/whenever you finish it...would love to see it!

Wow, you really captured him....I love your cowboy wall! What a great idea I always liked Jack Elam, too. In case you want to add another to your wall...

Bill, that is beautiful! I really like that...your friend is lucky and thank you for posting your work.
