Re: pattern tracing

They make white transfer paper for dark woods. I got some from Hobby Lobby. I am sure other craft stores carry it also.

Re: 2007 Christmas Ornament swap

Hi Ho,
I asked and of course the response I got was..."I don't remember and I always deliver mail to the proper place." What a joke!

Mike,
I did not mean for you to make another one. I was just letting you know...

Re: 2007 Christmas Ornament swap

I keep checking the mail every day but still have not received ornament from MDWine. Our mail carrier is good about putting the wrong mail in peoples boxes. So, somebody in my area has a great ornament from Mike.
This swap has been so much fun....

Re: deer antlers

We were taking a walk around our pond the other day and found a dead deer. He had been hit by a car or truck and that is as far as he could go. We cut the antlers off. My question is what is the best way to carve or burn them? Do they have to be boiled first? I have never had antlers to "play"...

Re: oops, I did it again( more ornaments)

Gary,
I think they are all great and each seems to have his own personality. I agree with Marci...wish my oopsies turned out half as well as yours.

Re: permanent markers for stripes

Jonah,
I have used Sharpie brand with Minwax poly and it didn't bleed. But, when I used Deft over the Sharpie, it bled. I found a marker used for scrapbooking with no acid that works fine with either poly or Deft. I use them to sign and date mostly,...

I like them both, but I like the man the best. I agree with Ash, he looks like Walter Mathau. Great job on both.
