Me and Amazingkevin like it. Golly, golly, so many very nice things to make... n ot enough time. Beautiful job. Larry
-
Very decorative. Looks like you inspired others .

I love the eyes, the hat, that little grin, and the 'just a bit' too long gown. I could grow attached to that also. Hummmm, a Grampa pattern you say. Larry
-
Edward, Any trucker would love to have that! great job.
-
That will make Veronica smile and a smile improves 'everything'. Good job.
-
That is great. Love the way you 'pictured' them. A-n-d ... I use a toothpick and remove excess glue when it just starts to set...before it gets hard. It comes off very easy. (I'm speaking of TightbondIII) Larry

Can't add anything, just repeat it. Beautiful pattern and cutting.

I'm back. About 10+ years ago I cut two 30" dia. 4" thick slabs of spalted maple. I followed advice and guidelines. LIghtly coated with poly, then strapped around the wood with metal banding. I put them in a unheated garage to dry. After two weeks the wood shrank enough that the banding fell off. At about two months, small cracks began to appear. I drilled 1/4 inch holes through the sides and glued dowels to try and reduce the splitting. As months passed I drilled more holes. After 5 years (no moisture guage) I deemed them dry enough. Wanted to use them for table tops. Used wood filler for the gaps. Within 6 months, the spalted wood had pulled away from the filler enough that some filler fell out. I may mess with it again someday. Thats my story and why I say you cannot stop it from having splits. Reduce them, YES, stop them, NO! In the picture, the black lines are fissures or cracks. Larry

Roly, that is beauty times two! There is nothing you can do to reduce the splitting. As the wood dries the fibers will separate. Some wood will naturally split less that others. The water takes up space and when it evaporates there is nothing replacing it, the wood shrinks. Sorry, best of luck. Larry

Hey Ralph, 'Where is that hammer and screw driver my toys?' Well Larry, 'It's in the barn-tote where it should be.' They are nice, good job.

Welcome Roy. (i'm a drivel pro) You been in woodworking 40 yrs... oops odd years. (Fourty is an even number). The very first thing you need to do to start on that upper slope is "SAVE ALL THAT SCRAP WOOD". Unless you have an endless supply. Besides, your wood sounds 'blessed' already. So your scrollwork will be near the apex immediately. Your Rexon sounds good, one speed will do almost anything you want. Give your Grandsons a hug from 'us' (Me and someone else here) And p-l-e-a-s-e ask an imbecilic question. You will get three s-e-r-i-o-u-s answers. Larry

Very nicely cut gifts. Larry -
Hey Ray, Hows the ice fishing? You sound like you are a busy guy. Well scroll sawing is a good relaxation and stress remover. When you begin cutting those patterns you will leave the novice way behind. So welcome here. Take a tour and see what's available. Do a search here and on the internet, you will find patterns or get ideas of exactly what you want to start scrolling. Larry

Kevin, I enjoy the way you have described making the cross. Why you made it, how you made it, the problems you had making it and how you solved a problem. I enjoyed. The title tells it all and the cross is a nicety to make for her. God bless. Larry
-
I was there and there is gone but I bet it's here.
-
I wanna know, 'Do you have horses?' Just kidding. You will need a list of what is required besides a scroll saw. (sander?) And a list of what additional items would be helpful. WELCOME The intarsia pro's are drooling to help.
-
That is quality and should be shown. Larry
-
Makes me smile...Good idea Dan and Roly! Wish I could but since my wife took the bowl, all I have is the board. "What if you made two out of the same board?" Self standing... the board would have to be decorative or gaudy ugly Shhhhhh, Keep this quite. Don't want someone else to get this idea.... WINK WINK
-
That's picture perfect !
-
I say 'second bowl' because I think it is the second cut of Birchbarks bowl or basket pattern and it is my second bowl cut. This is bowl is made of Black Walnut and Spanish Cedar. The tiers are 3/4" thick and the bowl measures 8" across the top. Thank you Birchbark!
-
I made this bowl today from a piece of sumac 1/2" x 7" x 15" There is no finish yet. While I glued it, I noticed sumac has a color like treated lumber. Thank you Steve Goode for the pattern.

Welcome Ray, Glad to have you. I suspect you will be here for a while learning as much as possible. A new scroller or old and experienced one, in my opinion, is still absorbing and learning at the Village. One big lesson I received here is, 'Ask and you will receive...and receive...and receive.' No shortage on good advice and direction. So ask, learn, chip in, and dream about riding that bike in a few months. Larry

That's a nice cut on that super pattern design. Just got me to wonder, 'Under what catagory would you place this pattern?' Larry
