Hi Randy , you solved the Problem of working with Hard Wood and sure she will use it and Cherish it . Well Done . Merle

[Merle Rice]

Hi Bob , wish I knew the kind of Wood it is . It is so bright and Colorful . Thanks Bob . Merle

Hi Randy , I think the Heart might look good if it were cut out . It would make it lighter and not distract from the Wings . Nice Design , Boy you are going for the Small Detailing . Carving Angel Wings might be a little Addictive . Take a look on internet at the different Designs . Merle

Hi Joe , the White is the Pattern glued onto the Wood . I have only cut out the Pattern on the Band Saw . They don't look like that now , a lot of Wood removed . Merle

[Merle Rice]

Hi Mike , Yes you could sice them in half but I wanted to have enough Wood to show off the Detailing more natural , at least that's my intention . Power Carving and Boy am I ever getting covered with Saw Dust . Thanks Mike ....... Merle

What is the need for Speed doing a Carving ? When I first started Carving it took me 3 weeks to finish a Piece and now I got it down to about a Week or so . I do this for Relaxation , Challenge ,and just for Fun . At my age I get tired just thinking about Speed . Ha,Ha. Take your time Enjoy Carving...

Hi Arthur , I think they will look a lot better mounted on a Back of some kind but not sure for now . Once I get them finished and see just how they look finished and what color they turn out to be and then I'll decide what to do . I have Walnut , Cherry and Mahogany Boards , don't think I'll use Diamond...

Hi Phil , The Whiteness on the Pictures is the Pattern on Paper. I don't think I'll make them White being that they are Mahogany and might look nice Plane Wood . The Edges are incised , but now that you mentioned it they could be made either way . Mine are going to be incised , ( Easier ).
