Iguanadon Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Even us "veterans" of scrolling have bad weeks. I thought the beginners would appreciate knowing that. I had 2 pieces become trash this week... I was engraving the cat wall hook and I bumped the table and it threw everything off... TRASH #1. Then yesterday I was cutting a custom piece with the dog's name and after I finished and removed the pattern, a minor blemish on the wood that I would never have paid attention to while laying out the patterns, made it look like he had a black eye... TRASH #2. No way I could send that to the customer so I cut another one. frankorona, RabidAlien and lawson56 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrollerpete Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 Well I am surprised that a master has ooops. There is hope for us mere mortals. lawson56, Foxfold and barb.j.enders 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Kevin, I agree, I love various grain, colors and variations normally... This one just stood out at me. I debated it for a while but chose to toss this one. Probably the first time that's happened, but I'd hate for a client to open the package and be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I have my shop walls lined with opps that I put on the wall as a reminder.. Things from custom text customers wanted and I misspelled to cutting the wrong type of car for the name I gave it.. I had a Subaru car clock request once that was a BRZ.. they also made a BRX.. everything was good other than that last letter, darn it.. LOL Told the wife when I run out of wall space I'm putting an addition on the shop so I have more room for the oppsies LOL... For some reason she now inspects each pattern or custom order I get.. Think she doesn't agree with the shop addition, LOL OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I hate when I have those kind of days. Instead of throwing the one away, use it as a sample at shows (if you ever get to do them again.) It can serve couple of purposes. One, it can show a customized pattern. Two, it can show people that you are willing to redo something when it doesn't look right rather than send out something you think they wouldn't like. Three, you never know when someone else might show up with their own "Scout" and love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John B Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Don't trash the dog, package him up and take him to your shows. I bet there is somebody out there who has this bread with the name. You could even give it to a nipper at your stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonkort Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 i cant even count the mastacks iv made over the years lol but i like the dog too lol if you dont want to have him in your show you could always put it in your give away box...im sure theres some one out there somewhere who would love to give him a good home!!!! but i think the other suggestions are wounderful too!!!
