My first pics

Here are a couple pieces I have done recently. I combine scroll saw and carving. I left my delta in Mt. but picked up a scary looking little saw at a yard sale for $5. The little thing actually ruins very smooth just the blade opening is about the size od a half dollar. A piece of plywood takes care of that though.

Sorry I posted the pics twice. Still learning to navigate the site.

Very nice work, what a great skill to combine cutting and carving. I had wanted to learn to carve and do that but I kind of fail at it. This is good and dont worry about the double posting, it takes some work to get that down. Thanks for sharing.

excellent work, and a great idea to combine other talents with the scroll work.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I have been fortunate in the arts. Started as a sculpture then changed to or added painting. One day I was working on a museum sculpture/painting and was approached to carve a 4' ascension figure for the Catholic church so after that the carving became a tool.

Very nice. What wood did you use on the motorcycle guy? Is "motorcycle" the "MC in your name?

Most of my carving is done on basswood. I have used tupelo and love it just a lot harder to get. I have a great sources for basswood.
