Critiques
« on: September 30, 2010, 02:02:31 pm »
I love what Grey Beard said in his post to ?newbies? and (with shaking hands) want to put myself out there.  I?ve been scrolling for almost 3 years but have not received much feedback from people except for those who know me.  If it?s not too much trouble, could some of you folks have a look at my work on www.8by10woodworking.com and send me an email to bill_purcell3@q.com with critiques.  Please don?t be nice.

Please note the "heart clock" was my first project, so skip that one.  :)

Thank you!

Bill

Bill...From me to you....

Absolutely beautiful Cuttings and superior finishing!

With this kind of work to your credit YOU should be doing critiques not us!

Superb!!!

Maybe when I grow up I will be able to emulate your work!

You're kidding, right?  I mean, if you're serious, I'm very happy, but...

There are no other scrollers in the area at all, so I've never been able to show my stuff to anyone and I figured I was not quite average.

Beautiful work... INCLUDING the heart clock!  I'd email you but there's nothing I'd want to say in an email that I wouldn't say here.  I love your work!

Bill, I agree.  You've lost your beginner status!  You've attempted and accomplished more than many people have I'm sure.  Don't be too hard on yourself.  Sometimes we are our own worst critic.

Remember there's only one person whoever walked this earth that was perfect.  :)

It's great to see what you've produced in a limited area.

Keep it up!

Karl

Great variety and love your shop.  You are very talented, thanks for sharing.

Where are you located?  I'd guess Oregon since the mention of myrtle-wood.

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words.  I was expecting a lot of "you shoulds."
