Popular Post Smallpatch Posted December 16, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 The flower petals are maple cut with the scroll saw.. Hopefully I will cut circles where I have marked them to go then drop the flowers in with glue when finished carving. Each project gets easier and more fun than the last. Too bad I can't talk someone to doing this. FrederickH, Gene Howe, Artie and 3 others 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallpatch Posted December 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 I haven't put the pattern on the wood yet for I don't know what the next week or two might be for me as I might not be in the shop and I have found its best to do all the scroll sawing in the first day or two as sometimes the temporary glue decides to waste away and having a pattern come loose while trying stay on the lines with the saw don't help much.

Smallpatch Posted December 21, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 Well, I been a busy bee for I am almost ready to put the shine to this puzzle. Just got a few edges to match up with each other then finished. This is how I first cut the picture up then after starting the carve them I decided I needed to cut more pieces in to so I could get to some edges easier..

I thought it did too... then I wondered if I had your momma's name wrong these many years. Now I'm wondering if that little "b" is a German "d" or something like that!

Smallpatch Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Its all maple Gene Cal I never thought of calling her Dernadette for she is about as strong as I am. I have always used a form of Old English letters in my name thingies but its not one of the letters thats being offered on this rebuilt Microsoft 11 and it don't exactly do things like the 10 did. But it did make her name in an arc to match the place I had added to the top of the carving . Today is our anniversary and all I remember it started over 60 years ago and she is still waiting for an anniversary gift. I was trying to get this carving finished but cold weather makes things go much slower. Last night the weather man said not freezing this morning but right now its 23 degrees here on the lake and 15 degrees in town. Being in the middle of this lake usually keeps the temp above freezing!!!!!!. Cal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
