WOW! that turned out nice, I'm surprised that you was able to get it done. I knew you was busy with the caregiving per our PM's and I figured it'd be a longer time before I seen the final product.. I bet the scrolling helped ease some stress from the caregiving.. Gotta take some time to relax and do some scrolling every now and then.. glad you was able to do just that.  Take care of yourself.. you can't be a caregiver when you're down too.

Care taking for a 93 year old amputee .. and .. a dimentia'ed 90 year old wife of his (wife's parents) .. man .. that is FULL TIME !!! I didn't realize it.

I even took my scroll saw over there when we moved in back in February .. Cut out a manger scene .. and .. that was all I had time for. But .. got this one done this week for my Grand daughter for Christmas.

It's cut out of an old SOLID MAPLE HEADBOARD .. with .. that BURL WALNUT I get for a base. Used a Pegas 2/0 MGT and a Flying Dutchman 2/0 - then - finished it off with a #1 FD .. Thanks the the CLOCK Kevin! (@kmmcrafts) and both you and TDP(@TDpainter) for your advise on the pattern I was drawing for it.

I think it came out alright. And .. there's the pattern if anyone wants it. It was a FUN cut.

Prayers for you and yours as you handle the care giving. I too know the toll it can take, especially with dementia as my mother too had Alzheimer’s. I found scrolling shortly after we lost her and I found it very therapeutic to sit at the saw. I hope it breaks you the same comfort and joy. Your granddaughter will love this beautiful piece you have crafted.
