I know I haven't been around much lately.  Family matters and a few shows have realaly kept me busy.  Yes, Pop's Shop is still around and kicking.

That being said, I just wanted to share with y'all my labor of love for my wife to celebrate our 58 years together.

The project is called a Mandala Flower.  5 layers, over 1560 inside cuts, size is 14" x 14", didn't keep track of time (didn't want to on this tpe of project - it would probably scre the sh** out of me)

Anyhow, here it is:

Overall picture and a close up of part of it.

 

That is incredible!

Thanks, Lew

Great to see you posting again Fred and what a post it is...Beautiful, beautiful work of art.

Thanks for sharing. BTW, congrats to you and the Mrs. on 58 years. That's no small achievement either!

Stunning!

 

You've got a LOT more patience than I'll ever have, Fred.

Amazing work!

 

TruVue Museum Glass comes to mind to provide reflection-free viewing. 

Incredible! Really well done!

Great to see you, Fred. You've been  missed.

Congratulations on your 58th anniversary!!!

Truly gorgeous piece(s). A tour de force of your scroll saw expertise and, your patience.  

Just brought a lightly used DeWalt scroller into the shop. Haven't yet assembled it's stand. Due to your fantastic example, I have added impetus to get it done and, some inspiration,  as well. Thanks, Fred. 

Glad to see you back Fred. 

As to your project,... 

Really looks nice!!!!

Great Job!!

Stop in to share your art when you can Fred. We'll leave a light on for ya'.

I agree with ALL the above comments! Aside from that, I'm speechless. And congratulations to both of you on your 58 years together!

Beautiful Work!!!

Words fail me, Artiste! Doing simple math, I was 4 when you two got hitched, Congrats!

A fantastic labor of love, congrats on 58 years I was wondering did you design this piece yourself?

Pat asked - I was wondering did you design this piece yourself? -- - No.  It was downloaded from "Design Bundles".

Artie - With your tag line I guess you just started winging your clock a little after we did. 

Thanks all for the "congrats" on our marriage.  I have to thank the good ole goverment for sending me to Homestead AFB after airborne radio/radar schooling.  Being a Christian, I wanted to get back to church and the one I chose had a great youth group (I was only 19 at the time).  I met Judy there.  Went to her 16th birthday party.  After 5 years of being best friends and I had graduated from the Air Force, we got married and the rest is history............

Thanks, Fred. Design Bundles looks to be a great resource. 

It does look like a good resource, indeed. Thanks, Fred!
