Sometime nothing works

[Eric67]

Bonjour à tous,
I show you my latest work, I had a lot of fun doing it, until I sat on it. I let you to imagine the result.
I' m angry on me but I start it again.
the pattern comes from a book :  Wildlife portraits in wood by Charles Dearing.

Have a good day.

Hmmm, 

A good choice of patterns.  A nice detailed wolf. 

You want me to imagine splinters.  A wooden wolf biting you.

Very nice Eric. Charles Dearing does some nice and some complex patterns.
We all do silly things. Only a few weeks ago I went to move one of my tissue boxes, forgetting, or more likely my head was somewhere else, that I had only polished it a few minutes ago and the lacquer was still wet

 ARRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

Man talk about being crushed great work on the second one. 

[daveww1]

very nice, it's a shame you sat on it.

Beautiful work. Rest assured your in good company. We all made mistakes or had mishaps. Just grin and bear it and start again. After about 8 hours cutting I dropped my project and watched it go into a million little pieces. A dust pan can be your friend.

Sure does mess up a guys day. Happens to all of us.

Beautiful work Eric. Just don't sit on them in the future.

I like your compassion

I've read that: "Learning takes place when there is a change in behavior".

I'm betting the whole pot you will never do that again!

I have done a lot of foolish things in my time but that is not one of them.  Always better to laugh at yourself and start again.
Great result and a great cutting.  Now put it somewhere safe.

I think something similar happens to all of us. I have spent several hours cutting a double stack piece today when I decided to sand some of the burrs of the back. When I flipped it over I realized some of the fragile lettering had torn out. If it had been one or two pieces I would have tried to find the pieces and repair them but there were probably half a dozen and I had already vacuumed earlier.

Regardless, Eric. You cutting is great. You've come a long way in a short time!

[Eric67]

There's more serious a piece of broken wood,each one knows that, I laugh but next time I'll be careful

Merci à tous

Three things I love about scrolling:

1.  Producing works of art (at least in my eyes)

2. It reinforces, sometimes painfully, that I am not perfect! 

3.  I forget what the third thing is ............

Scroll on, Eric.  Scroll on!!!

Been there , done that.

Belle job sur la reprise..
