Made this one for my daughter. Her boyfriend proposed to her on Christmas Eve at my house. He used the ring that my hubby gave me before we both deployed. Amazingly, I didn't cry. 

[MaDeuce]

Still won't let me upload the other two pictures that I got done. Been busy this week... well, more like - I needed the sanity breaks lol

[MaDeuce]

Well, I guess I'll tell you about them until I can figure this out... 

I have two smaller ones... one says ;IGY6 - I am my brothers keeper with the silhouette of 4 soldiers

another small one where I engraved the ;IGY6 (more irritation that it was worth for such a small piece lol) with soldier silhouettes. 

One larger flag (22"x14' ish?) with "America - Home of the Brave" at the bottom.

try resizing them.  I am not tech genius but hey it worked the other night for me

I can’t imagine the talent it takes to create that type of art. 

What error are you getting when the upload fails?

Having been gone for 3 years and little contact with home and such, as in no visits, I sent and email to my Father informing him I was engaged with a picture. Here is pic, his response?  How much did you pay for the girl to sit with you and get a photo.Few months later he informs my Mother he will pay me a visit in Ukraine and look into this.  Then slips this comment in, "Might do some shopping and upgrade you for two younger models." Oddly he never could find his

 

passport application after that.  This is what I imagine my mother doing when he said that.

Yea... I'd have lost it. I'm not known for having a very long fuse (hence the handle lol). Stuff like this is the reason I live 10 hours away from my family. I couldn't even bring myself to go home for my grandparents funerals because I knew I'd have to interact with them. At this point, other than to support my sister, I'm not sure I could even go to my own mothers funeral. 

 

I firmly believe in karma... ugliness, hatefulness, abuse, etc. will be revisited x3.

Very ni...Oh look a squirrel...what was I going to say?

[Grandpadave52]

Oh I remember now...Very nice...amazing detail on the tail (no pun initially intended, but now that I think about it) and fur...even the color is spot on.

 

Congrats on the SIL in waiting too...

 

Thanks for sharing "Ma"

We are our own worst critics.  That said we also have some extremely talented people here.  I am always amazed at what they come up with.

Yep, that seems to be our nature & a common thread we all have no matter what skill level we're at. That's what sets this Forum apart from many others...non-judgmental, willingness to help, share and learn from each other. No matter how good (or not) any of us are in a given discipline, eventually someone will come along and exceed that. The day I stop learning will be the day they pry the tool out of my cold dead rigor-mortised hands...and when they do, they better put it back where it belongs.

When my time is up I want people coming into the shop looking around going, how many projects did he have going on?

[MaDeuce]

I already have a "craft-crap" stash (that's what my husband calls all my crafting supplies). Everything from jewelry making, fabric, yarn, and now my wood working/burning stuff.

Late to the party but, I gotta say that you are great with the burner. Very nice work. Sure hope you get the picture posting issues sorted out. Can't wait to see more of your fabulous work.

@MaDeuce. Could you do me a favor, if you have the time, can you please email those images to administrator@thepatriotwoodworker.com that you could not upload.

Just attach them to your email, and I'll look into why they did not upload, and I may even try to upload them here on my end. This will help us out a lot, we are always trying to tweak our community to be user friendly, or at a minimum, user frenemy.

Thanks Ma!
