 I hope you are right as I continue aging I am in hopes that some of my work will have some of the families that will cherish it and the projects will be a little reminder of me as they age too

Thank you Denny, I enjoy passing me passion on the family and friends in hopes they will maybe still be displaying and enjoying them after I have past on.

Thanks for the compliment, but I’ve certainly never seen anything shabby about your work either.

That is what I am planning with the Alex Fox Baskets Modified.  Going to call them Blessing Baskets.

What thickness did you use Dick?  
Looking at the pattern from the site, it says to use 1/4”. The photo you posted looks thicker than that. I’m thinking 1/2-3/4” would make it look “more full”. Also easier to round the edges.

What a wonderful Christmas present. You always do great work.

I made them from MDF so they were painted. I did ask everyone what their favourite colours are and did the scarves in that.   I reduced them to about 80%.  You can see them here.  https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/50761-christmas-stuff/

 

I ended up doing a variety of colors after I saw your projects and it did make it more interesting for me. Thanks for showing me your snowmen, it was truly helpful.

Dick those are super cute!  I do love the idea of customizing their scarves for folks that @barb.j.enders did...those were really cute too!

That was exactly what I did after I saw her little snowmen. It made them more fun to paint and compare as I finished them all.

I did this in some recycled wood I had on hand. They all were approximately 1/2 inch thick. I ended up just gluing the finished and painted pieces together and after that I layed them out on 1/4 in BB Ply and drew around the project with a sharp pencil and sanded the backer board and glued the snowman on it. That made it match perfectly even if my cutting was off a tad. Way faster for me.
