  2. Zoom Zoom beautiful job
  3. This is an extension of Travis' "Wood Defects" post. In the Wood Defects post, Travis said,'Yah, I was looking for common terms that describe desirable 'defects' like burl. Not many woodworkers are looking for cupped wood. But spalted wood is highly saught after. I'm working on a new project I think many of you'll enjoy. I can't say too much right now since I'm still ironing out the bugs. Maybe you know what the new project is, but I don't. So just-in-case he still needs terms for wood characteritics, here is my list: Bear Claw Bee's Wing Birds Eye Blister Blue Stain Burl Cats Paw Crotch Curly Flame Mottle Peanut Shell Pecky (See AmazingKevins post) Quilted Rays Spalted Swirl Wormy There are some others like 'Stress'. If you want a great list with discriptions and pictures, check out Click here: wood figure terms Lots of good info at "HobbitHouse"
  4. MrsN has good advise. I don't like stains for scroll work. And like Sully stated, Just let the natural beauty show. If you need to stain, use scrap for a test run. Larry
  5. Yea, and hire an armed guard for your fridge. Got horses, their safe since Roy retired. If you live next to Kevin, don't play your music too loud. Makes him mad. Watch out for Keefie, he's a prankster. Roly? huh! He's got the bolt cutters. Dan, well, he makes coffee an' tea then leaves you all alone. Hope you're different Skip. I'd say welcome but you probably been here longer than me. This is your first post...gotta ask, how many saws have you worn out? What do you like to cut? Got anything special? Got anything like arrowheads to show? I'm sorry you live in New York ... so do I nead Binghamton. You near Rochester? Jamestown? Niagra Falls? Larry
  6. Dan, they look so simple to make. Cut the shape, a little grinding and sanding, put on a finish. Not much to it, but I'd be interested in hearing your process. Thank you. Larry
  7. That is nice of you Keith... Laughter is a good medicine also
  8. Try again..........Stu, I call it Virginia cedar.... use it to make 'cedar chests' Juniperus virginiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  9. Stu, I call it Virginia Cedar

  11. Hello, is this Keith? You said coffee is ready? I'll be there in a few...
  12. YES! That is very good...
  13. Good information and a reminder of wood terms I had forgotten.
  14. My favorite is maple because of the varities of color, texture, like birdseye, tiger, spalted. It's also the one I dislike the most ... Larry
  15. Dan, how did your arrowheads do at the show? They look great. Also, have you made more? Larry
  16. Try Steve Goods workshop. Scrollsaw Workshop But no sweat...I bet someone will provide one.
  17. In strategic locations strewn around the shop.
  18. Hey Kevin, Is that 'Box # 8 ?' My pattern storage: Some in 3 ring binders, some in drawers, on top of cabinets and generally strewn around the shop.
  19. Very nice Fay, I also like the top one best.
  20. nubeescroller66# Jerry, Go to ' General Scroll Sawing ' and in upper right, do a search for something like, 'pattern storage'. Here is one previous post. How do you organize your patterns?in General Scroll Sawing Started by Travis, Sep 23, 2010 Last Post by wombatie, Sep 29, 2010
  21. Another winner Jim. Very nicely done. Larry
