Cathy,
That is absolutely beautiful. I am not a scrollsaw person. How about some details on how you did this piece?
Rob
Wow, that is beautiful.
You are much braver than I — I would not have feared ruining the wood, I’d have feared making just one bad mistake that ruined all my other hours of scrollsawing! A new chunk of wood usually costs relatively little plus a few seconds to cut it to length and a few more minutes to mill and sand it flat — but there is no recovering all those lost hours spent at the scrollsaw!
very nice Cathy! Reminiscent of some of your baskets I've seen. You do good work! Roughly how much time do you have on this?
every so often I think I am becoming a wood worker. Then I see something like Cathy's work, and realize I am just a wood butcher. But, I do love making sawdust.
