I started this pair of carving pieces about a month ago but only got one where it looks like someone has started carving on it.

 

So this morning I started cutting some of the wood off the bottom piece with a band saw, a 42" 1" belt sander and I used the oscillating drum sander to remove some wood before I then will start using the Dremel.

 

Just to show after I cut the pieces out with the scroll saw I flip the pieces over and make the back side so I don't carve the wrong side...

 

This amount of work was before lunch and I might not even get back out there this week end..

Wife got a clean bill of health last week so she is turning out the stained glass pieces too fast so I have a few frames to make for her glass...plus frames for the puzzles.

 

Also we just ran into problems with this last puzzle we are working on last night. Too many of the pieces that are close to the same color will go in the wrong places like up at the top where the color was mostly the same  for many of the pieces we had in the wrong places......It happens to have been made in china where mostly we only put together Thomas Kincade pictures and they say made in the USA,
