  1. I have cut with red heart which is a really pretty red wood and have had no issues...You might want to try that. Often times Red heart goes on sale in February (for the Valentine's day month) at Woodcraft so you might want to see if that is the case this year. Here is a discription of it: The bright red background of Redheart (Erythroxylon mexicanum) is host to a number of very interesting streaks and closed knots. It is smooth and tight grained, and sands to a nice workable surface. Redheart does not tear out when planed, and is nice for scroll sawing. In many ways it is similar to Bloodwood in character and color without the possibility of allergic reaction from the dust. (It comes from Mexico most of the time)
  2. Denny, that is one happy dog. You really captured his cute spirit. Well done!
  3. Me too! Great cutting!
  4. Wow! love the deer!
  5. That is a cute little bear. Nicely done!
  6. Paul, that one is fantastic! Well done!
  7. Charlie, very nice and clever design! Did you make up the pattern?
  8. Dick, I like your intarsia piece better than the T-Shirt! Really nice
  9. Barb I love the colors that you chose for this one. Reallllllly nice work!
  10. Very lovely! The gloss acrylic spray really makes the colors pop. What brand did you use? mc
  11. I am in line with Kevin @kmmcrafts but I do love the color of all the Walnut woods (native and exotics) and I enjoy cutting it. I really do not like cutting purple heart though.
  12. great idea! I do love Banksey's work too.
  13. My favorite from this past year was my daughter's music box that I gave her for graduation. The mechanical musical movement I used came out of an old tin box that she had as a child so I designed a piano jewelry box since she loved playing the piano as a child and now as an adult. 20240605_140234.mp4
  14. Paul, that is amazing! What type of wood did you use to cut this (and thickness). If it was me, I wouldn't add any color except maybe shellac or the normal amber from some of the oil finishes. Nice work!
  15. Ray, Merry Christmas to you too and a joy filled new year!
  16. I like them all! I cannot say which one I like best...they are all very distinctly different.
  17. Very nice! I am sure she will love it!
  18. As always, it's such a joy to see your work!
  19. Is that a worm in that piece of wood!?
  20. I really like it. I think because the background is green, a bit of red on the bow would be nice. I do like the yellow flame....with out it, I maybe would have missed it. Really nicely done!
  21. Too funny! Thank you for sharing!
  22. I really like these especially the lines on them....They look like they have fur
  23. Very beautiful!
  24. I just saw this....so glad I got to see this. I love your tree...I really like using that technique as well. Great work!
  25. That is really nice Charlie... Is that a Steve Good pattern?
