Popular Post Charlie E Posted January 18, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Shows up a bit better in person. I've cut and given this one many times. I honestly believe a person could stay busy cutting this one pattern to sell. Everyone seems to relate to it in some way. I cut one to give away in a drawing at our local meals on wheels and the lady in charge asked if she could please have it, as her 3 month old grandchild is having serious health issues. So I cut this one this afternoon to take its place. What a cool hobby we have! Use it to bless someone, and it'll be you.

Ron Johnson Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Very beautiful Charlie. Yes, the design would have a special meaning for many people. What thickness of wood did you use? Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What thickness of wood did you use? Thanks Ron. I used 1/2" oak. This one turned out a bit darker than I wanted but, for me anyway, this pattern looks better on a piece of wood with a little going on than a plain piece of Birch. Just my opinion. Almost everyone who has seen one I've cut in person relates to it. Nothing to do with my cutting, just a really touching picture. Makes me think of looking at my dad's huge hands during church when I was a small child. Also for me from a spiritual perspective, it's a guiding hand. Plus my grandkids used to hold my pinky.

wombatie Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 It reminds me of my husband and our grandson when he was a tiny tot. That tiny tot will be 20 at the end of the month. Fabulous work Charlie. Marg Gene Howe, danny, Charlie E and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak0ta52 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I've thought about cutting this pattern many times but skipped over it to go to something else. You've convinced me... I've got a few ahead of it but it's going on my list. Great cutting, by the way. I like the roughness of the wood as well as the grain.

I used a similar pattern when I used to design monuments and you’re right, it has a lot of spiritual meaning. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't find it but I've been using a rough pattern I drew from the original art work several years ago. I'm a little better with the computer now so I cleaned it up a bit and put it in the pattern library under New Patterns.

Thank you very much, Charlie. I’m sure you’ll do great. It’s a fun pattern. Just slow the speed down and take your time around the fingernails.
