I'm so pleased!

Just wanted to share something cool. The Charles Dearing deer in a live edge maple slab that I posted here last year made it into the gallery of Fall issue of ScrollSaw Woodworking magazine!!

I was shocked when I saw it in the issue I got in the mail today  8)

Congrats!  Looks like a nice pattern to start with, and your choice of wood was great.  Add to that the cutting looks excellent, and it's no wonder they picked it.  You have every right to be proud!

Congratulations Ray.  I do not understand why you would be shocked that was a great piece.  That live edge maple slab fit the pattern and subject perfectly and your cutting of it superb.  Something like that could easily go into an art show and stand on its own merits, its that good.  Once again Ray, Congratulations you deserved the recognition.
