    Holly cut down

    If you don't cut Holly during the winter I believe, it's usually turn green. I believe it needs to be dormant when you cut it in order for it to stay white. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    Intarsia Wall Project Part 2

    The picture is wonderful! Just beautiful!...but to get the full effect of this piece one must experience it in person. This is a "mind blown" piece! The time, dedication, and amount of work that's gone into this is just astounding! Well done Joe! I can't wait to see the finished piece(s)!

    I believe it was a victim. I got the ash several years ago from Bob Kellogg here on the forum.

    @Bullcitywoodshop Andrea, I'll see if I can turn something for the silent auction. I should be able to as I have enough lead time.

    Call for members to demo at Hardwood Store of NC Grand Opening

    I've got my Pyrography gear all packed and ready to go. I'm going to try to be there by 8:30a or before. It just depends on what time I get out of the house. Oh, and I'll be carrying Ken Serdar's laser and equipment. He and Cheryl are driving separate. BTW, I mentioned to Matt already, I'm NOT...

    Call for members to demo at Hardwood Store of NC Grand Opening

    I'm going to try to be there. It's already been a long week for me since we have a planned outage on one of our production lines and I have a big project going in.

    DIY Steady rest with micro-adjust

    Henry, looks to me like the micro-adjust is the threaded rod with large knobs outside the ring to move the wheels in and out. That's a nice feature to have on a steady rest!

    CNC Router Forum

    I also have a ShopBot Desktop Max with a 24" x 36" bed. I agree with what Mark said, most of your time is spent designing on the software. I use Vcarve Pro. Fortunately it came with my unit which the license was still transferable (just one time). Otherwise the license is around $2k. Mark...

    Dewalt Scroll Saw

    I have a Delta model 40-690 that's like new for sale. It's a 20" unit. It needed a new motor so I have some $$ in it. It comes with the light and stand with adjustable legs for angling the unit. I'd let it go for $300.
