Working 57 years at one place is special and when that place is a university, it is extra special. So, a friend is finally pulling the plug in about 10 days and I cut him a copy of the school logo in 3/4" cherry. Picked up some fresh #3MGT blades from @Denny Knappen and they ripped right through this project. (My first real cutting since cataract surgery.) The base is weighted by a few ounces of BBs in glue. Below are pics of the campus statue, the derivative logo and my cutting. Felt good to get some sawdust on my fingers!

This is an @alexfox pattern slightly modified, actually all I did was not add the middle layer. This time instead of leaving the wood untreated I painted it and in my opinion a success. No bleeding of the resin into the wood Anyhow, here it is.

Last Christmas I made set of Gnomes, they became popular, so I decided to make a big set of holidays gnomes. Set includes 24 patterns: 3 gnomes for each of 8 holidays: Christmas, Thanksgiving Day, Independence Day, Easter, Halloween, Valentine's Day, St Patrick Day and Labor Day. Size of each gnome is about 6,5 x 4 inches, consists of 4 layers, stand and hanging ring are optional. Video of making one of gnomes Holidays gnomes pattern

I often see these cool birds when trout fishing on Rivers in the Northeast. They have a swoopy flight pattern and a raspy caw call. Very entertaining bird. Getting better at cutting the self frame. Used 9 degrees off from 90.

Excellent work! It will surely be apricated!

I finished cutting this in late February, I believe. Been sitting on my table saw waiting for me to decide what to do with it. Nothing yet. I want to do something with it. It is cut in. 1/2" popular wood, A Finoa Kingdon pattern. I really enjoyed cutting, as I do all of her patterns, I have used.

Retired sales/marketing guy who worked in Biotech instrument world for my day job. Always have been building furniture, turning bowls, and building striped bass fishing lures in my shop. Now that I have a few grandkids (5 year old twins).. i have bought a Seyco Scroll saw and made about a dozen project thus far. I spend a bunch of time fishing/camping/hiking and watching birds so I have lots of scroll projects in the future. I love owls so I will be looking for unique Great horned owl and Barred Owl patterns.

Oh my, those are super fine.

Jim, very well done, RJ

Jim, I certainly agree with you that serving as a college professor for 57 years is a very commendable achievement and your superb creative woodwork is a fitting tribute to his efforts. He will appreciate this forever. Well done! Dick Mira

You are most fortunate to get to spend quality time with your grandkids. I never really got to it when I was retired and could do things like that with them. They always lived too far away. Enjoy all you can with them.

Very Nice! It will be appreciated.

Excellent work !!

Excellent craftsmanship I am sure it will be appreciated

Well done. I sure they will appreciate the gift.

Well done on the candle holder! I truly appreciate the kind words!

I helped a turner friend make a bowl, I did the scroll saw work. This is a segmented bowl, and much larger, but it might give you an idea.
