Here is what I have been working on for so long. Started out with rough cut hard maple that had been stored for a few years.

It wasn't the best wood but I was able to resaw it and get enough to make this plaque. It measures 24 inches wide and 32 inches  high.

Wood was planed down to three sixteenths. Didn't keep track of the hours.  It was a challenge but, worth it. Made it for my grandson.

He is putting it in his classroom

That is way beyond what I could ever imagine could be done with a scroll saw. Wonderfully done. You are a master at scrolling.

The tips of the branches look so fragile,I hope little fingers in the class room don't break them off.

 

You must have a lot of patience and  a steady hand.

WOW!!! Looks fantastic.

Hail Mary and she said hail yea!  Nice!

Thanks for the kind complement. 

Thanks. It did turn out nice. Not everything comes out so good. I have been half way done with a board and something goes wrong and in the garbage it goes. Ha.

Very, very nice, my hats' off to you sir.

 

Thanks. You can put your hat back on. ha  Seriously. I appreciate your comment.

Gopher, just noticed - when did you make the Dome Clock?  Another great project.

I made the clock about 15 years ago. It was about the most challenging piece I'm made.

2 pieces of walnut as base parts and the rest is 1/n red oak. About 200 hours start to finish.

Thanks for asking.

Do you have close up pictures of it?

I think I do. I'll do some searching.

The clock works are very small.

I had just about the same amount of time in the one I made.  Forgot how many pieces I cut in the project.  

I know what you mean. If we counted them, we probably wouldn't do it. ha.

 

Thanks for all the kind complements on my latest venture.

We sure have a nice bunch of folks in this group.

Wow that is beautiful Glenn. The first thing I think of when I see it is how many holes to drill.

I can't believe I missed this somehow. My apologies and my loss until now.

Beautiful, beautiful piece Glenn. What patience you must have.

Thanks for sharing it here at TPW.

That's true. That is one of the first questions I always get, how many holes.
