Thanks, guys! Phil, I think I have something laying around that I carved through, rather than using the scroll saw. I'll have to look for it. BTW, I like that little pendant.

I made this pendant and some acanthus leaf ear rings (same chunk of mahogany) for my wife. She's never worn them....

Thanks, folks! Long time in front of the scroll saw, Ed. Bring some music!

Made this based on a carving magazine tutorial. Mahogany. My wife likes shiny so it got hit with gloss shellac. Lots of holes, very busy with the drill press and scroll saw. I doubt I'll make any more projects with so many holes! ...

If your wood spirits have beards, a veiner or v-tool would be good to have. Sizing would be up to you, but smaller is better.

I'd suggest checking around to see if you can stand the noise of an electric chisel. They can be quite loud.

As for jelutong, I'm curious if it requires knives over chisels and gouges, like tupelo. I had a miserable time carving a piece of tupelo before I found that out. I'm sure someone...

Very nice!

Nice! I made a circular cribbage board in ca the 8th grade. My hole alignment isn't anywhere near that good, and I didn't carve anything, either. I'm with JoeB on this, finishing it must have been real fun!

The WH has no control over the weather. Neither did the previous administration.

Too bad about the horse head. Skeletal survey and blood work, eh? I haven't talked to the doctor about my survey, yet, but I have an appointment. I hope your biopsy turns out OK.

Very nice!

[Dark Lightning]

Ohh, that's sad. My condolences!

[Dark Lightning]

Nice work! I was skinny like that back when I worked as a mechanic.

Happy Birthday! I hope that I even live to be 90!

Well done!
