  DanG Jeff that's really good at the rate you're going you're going to have a new career...  If I hadn't nailed them in place already I'd be wanting to comission you to do some custom burning on my stair risers.

I wish I had the patience to do that by hand.  But wait, I have this nice machine at work to do it for me!  ;D

I can toss a 2'x3' piece of baltic birch ply in there, hit go, and have a bunch of plaques done by the time I get the last batch sanded.  And it will cut out 1/2" material- not a whole lot of scroll saw time anymore!!! ;D

Wish I could get some of those pictures to try out on the laser

Two days ago my back slipped out of place during a strenuous activity. Leaning forward in my chair to pick up a hunk of dog hair deposited by one of our canine children.  Go figure, its always something stupid when I have my back act up and always an inopportune time. I'm supposed to fly down to Tom's and visit for a spell monday. I guess I'll have to take a plane now, cause flappin is out of da question. ;D

Anyhow, between trips to da bone craker and while laid up on the sofa, Ive been at least trying to do something. I started this one yesterday and finished it up a little bit ago.  Tammy likes this one. I'm not so sure about it.

again, you can click for a better look.

I know I shouldn't say this as it's gonna come back to haunt me........ :
I agree with T......ammy, that's a REALLY nice one, maybe your best yet! 8)

Most of the stories from my grandfather come from parbuckling wood, log brows, sledding wood or yarding. Looks grand to me Jeff. Maybe the scene reminds you of back breaking work. ;)

[Wildflower]

Furby,
You actually agreed with me??
And to think I thought  you had no taste, but I can see I was slightly wrong..... which doesn't happen often  ;D

[Furby]

Guess we both gotta take what we can get eh? ;D

[Jeff]

HEY! >:( ;) ;D

[Paschale]

Man, Jeff...those are terrific!   8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I'm working on something tonight of a different flavor.

[GareyD]

Hot Fudge Brownies and Sum Ice Cream??  :D :D

[Jeff]

I wish. :D  I did have tacos though.

Not only do those wood burnings look great, but they showcase your patience as well. I dont have that trait, I'd have four or five half finished stools laying around :.

[Jeff]

This was the different flavor. I dont know if he's finished or if I'll add to him. He might make a good sign for somebody as there is room for lettering.  Hes quite large as you can see by the scale stick.  I think that wood circle is at least 18 inches.

I really like the horse logging ones Jeff. You should think seriously about going to the bigger city farmers markets and selling those. In Des Moines they have a farmers market that has lots of arts and crafts style things, more so than the food and vegies you'd think they'd sell. The city folks would be a great market for you and with your talent I think you could name your price.

[Jeff]

I decided to do something a little more original and functional tonight. ;D  There is a square out on the little house out back that STILL has masking tape on it ;D. I decided  I should take the tape off so Charlie can get his square back, and since I was going to Florida this week anyhow, I would take this block with me to get it signed so I can put it up when I get back.    Hope it'll work Mr. Tom.

Darn smart looking fella there Jeff.  ;D

[Jeff]

I think I assidently made him look a little stern.  Thats the look I'll get if I hide my grits in my napkin.

[WDH]

DanG that is good.

[Tom]

Say...... who dat!!

[woodsyowl]

your doing fine!
  I have tried wooding burning on several occasions starting back in bsa in the 60's  ,its harder than it looks.
going across grain and you use the same pressure and you get the lights and darks.......its a pain.

keeping the right presure and getting your hand to do what you want while your eyes still focus...ha ha it gets easier  I do a little drawing and painting thought about expanding into wood burning.hopefully by then you will have learned it all and ya  ;Dcan answer any silly questions i have
:D ;)

[Jeff]

3rd in the series.  First we skidded them out, then we loaded them up, now were hauling them to the river.   Not sure what will be next. Maybe get rid of dem horses and bring in da rats.  Da River Rats.

[Tom]

Hey!!  That's me.  ;D
