I hope everybody had a great St. Patrick's weekend. Here in my neck of the woods (Savannah, Ga. area) we have the largest celebration in the south and one of the largest in the nation. Did anybody work on any great projects over the weekend? Mike Dillen made a beautiful potpourri box, if you haven't seen his post about it, check it out My first fret work. I got quite a bit done on Sun. I glued the wings and ears on a batch of pet angels, still need to put halos on them , but I need to cut them first !!! 

And finished up a few mini birdhouses, 

And glued a few more patterns up, the bodies and wings for some butterfly ornaments, some halos for the pet angels, and a sign for a customers BBQ catering business, I told him I would just trade it for food 

And for John Moody, our budding scroll saw bowl maker, here's a video to enjoy. BTW John did you make any progress on your second bowl? 

Have a great week everybody

Great job Greg!!! That was an awesome Monday Hot of the Saw post thank you on behalf of the membership!

Looks like you were a busy scroller yourself this weekend. We have our doggy angel hanging next to our Sofie's picture. I bet those are popular at the market.

Mike sure did hit the road running with his fret work didn't he!

It is glued up and still sitting in the clamp right now Greg. I didn't get much chance this weekend, but maybe later in this week I will have a chance to pull it out and start working on cleaning up the glue.

Thanks for asking.

Looks like you have been quite busy. It all looks great.

Charles, these are all made from pine, actually I just use a regular old 2x4 and then stain them with various stains. The one your asking about is finished with Watco golden oak danish oil. Once the stain is dry I usually spray them with Krylon triple thick acrylic.

beautiful pieces Greg.

In the second picture, the wood seems to have a brushed appearance, is there something you did to make that happen or is that just light distortion? Also in the second picture, what wood is that gold looking birdhouse? bottom right.

Thanks John, I Hope they will too. The butterflies I'm working on should do good in the spring too.

The "cat" bird houses are really cute!!

They look great Greg and thanks for the video. Thanks for posting.

The light colored one needs to get his face drawn on, but that i will leave up to the wife, she works on miniature doll stuff so trust me it will look better if she does the face

Greg - are those flying pigs ? ? ? ? ? ? ?  

I'm sure y'all have seen the Dogs Playing Pool picture.  Here is my interpretation of same.

I've always loved the picture with the dogs, your interpretation looks fantastic. Mine are actually Diana Thompson's pet angels. I gave them a dip this morning, nope not a flea dip  a danish oil dip, so they're ready
