Chrstmas 2018

Well I made a bunch of these as gifts this year. This is a Sue Mey pattern froim the Family Series this particular pattern is available here: https://www.scrollsawartist.com/family-roots.html

This  was not a diffucult to do. I cut it on 1/8 Baltic Burch for the plaque itself.

I cut the backer out of 1/4" Baltic Birch

Since the backer is too thin to nail I just used 5 minute epoxy to attach the hanger. Also I made the backer slightly smaller so that you don't see it from the front.

I won't post this before Christmas since I still have hve to give these away. So once I have given them away I will actually post this. I for some reason almost forgot to take pictures of this for the blog! I actually had to unwrap one to take them. Now I have to wrap it again.

Anyway I wrote this entry on Christmas Eve and thanks for looking.

Merry Christmas 2018

3 Blue in a row

I was awarded the blue ribbon again this year for my entry into the NC State Fair. That is 2016, 2017, and 2018 have been blue ribbon winners.

A bunch of ribbon winners in this one.

Me holding the my winner!

Now what will I cut for next year? I have this pattern collection problem. I have way more patterns then I will probably ever cut. But will I have one I deem good enough? Or will I have to buy another? Any excuse to add more patterns to my collection. I tell ya it is a disease.

Anyway that is a year away. No need to worry about that now. Onto Christmas gifts! Never too early to consider those!

Skull and Cross Bones FRom my Creality Ender 3 Printer

Well this was a long print. But it finished and came out decent. I found this on thingiverse and increased it 2000% in size to make it a decent size. To go to that page click on thingiverse. It took about 12 hours to print. One small area messed up during printing buit nothing major and I was able to fix it.

I had supports on it and I sliced it with cura.

Thanks for looking!

Done

I drop this off next weekend on Saturday October 6th for the State Fair. Lots of hours in this. Hoping for the best. The frame is made from yellowheart. The actual cutting is cherry. I put gel satin urethane finish on it then a couple of coats of wax on top of that.

The yellow really pops when outside.
