I don't do many religious items but started to make theese small crosses. A few simple designs and nothing fancy. Various woods and sizes of each design.

Been a pretty busy summer with not much shop time. Here are 2 projects that I have manages to eek out. The God Boxes are for some of my wifes family The bowl is Poplar and Walnut. One of the best I have done so far. Hope all you guys and gals are doing okay.

That might make a pretty interesting small box. Used for the sides, you could miter the corners and keep the pieces in order such that the grain will flow the whole way around the box. Or use pieces for lids, and a different, contrasting species of wood for the sides, so that the grain of the lids really pops. Sometimes you can accentuate the defects in wood and get some pretty cool results.

The Story of the God Box is. Sometimes we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Sometimes we need to let someone else deal with things we can not handle or need help with. Write it down on a piece of paper and put it in the box for God to deal with. Then we don't have to worry with it.

Check out this grain on this cherry board. I was needing a piece of cherry for a project and only thing I have around here for cherry is all rough cut. Hard to see what the grain actually looks like in rough cut but I’m not using this for my scroll saw project after seeing this grain. Thinking about a couple cutting boards with walnut on both sides and this cherry being the center or making it as a table. What would you do with it? It’s only about 5.5 inch wide after edging it and there is a bad spot on one edge that either would have to edge another 1/2 off or plane it down another 1/4 inch.

Went back to some fretwork. Steve Good pattern. 1/4" bbply. Failed experiment with scrapbook paper for colour. The glue caused it to wrinkle. Finished with one coat of varathane.

Ok I decided to cut a second one, but I upsized her to 120. Plus I added a little bling. Think I will do a 160 or 180 and make into a windchime.

Thanks, May be time for me to make a few boxes,

Thanks, that is very helpful.

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone had the file for the napkin holders we did a while back. I need to repair two of them. I need two new center parts. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for all the info. I was able to find the part that I needed to repair two of my napkin holders.

Excellent work, RJ

very nice work

Hi Tim: Nice work, but I have to ask What is the story behind God boxes Fab4

The sticker on the side of my scroll saw reads: "Mfd. for Grizzly in Taiwan".

Here she is painted and the silhouette with a red backer, May try a black backer
