Jim, if it wasn't for the fact that everyone knows you and that all of your projects are indeed cut with a scroll saw, it would be very hard to believe that you are not using a laser to produce these beautiful plaques! The cutting is absolutely perfect!  I have been doing this hobby since 2005 and have yet been able to turn out letter cutting any thing like this! At times I come close until I take a closer look!  You are the master with the steel brush!

Steel brush??  not sure what you mean.

Don't be deceived, there are plenty of things that are wrong to my eyes.  Two things that have helped me, using thicker wood (If I tried to cut this in 1/4" stock, it would be a disaster) and a good magnifier light.   A lot of things get hidden in the pictures, even though I don't to any retouching of them.  Anyway, thanks for the kind words.

By steel brush, I meant that as cutting with the blade and the results looking like being painted with a paint brush! My sister was a born artist so I just picked up that term for what I do and the excellent cuttings of other scrollers.
