you can make files smaler with Irfanview ( freeware) or other picture programs. At Irfanview you save a picture as jpeg, than you can compress the file. but save it under an other name otherwise you  overwrite your orginal picture. Perhaps the other programs will work as well.

The above fretwork was done about 9 years ago before I got sick. It was cut from 3/4" Oak and bout tore my shoulders out doing it. Lol I will be taking one of my fretwork clocks off my mantle in a couple of weeks to reset it for daylight savings and at that time I will take a pic and post it.

Thanks Dan
this last basket was one of many done years ago also. I sold alot of my work  fretwork clocks more than anything else. I love to do the big ones. I did many of the wildwood large clocks they are so pretty when finished. I think I will maybe do some intarsia also. I am waiting for my Sand-flee to get here this week I bought the stand for it also but info does not say which sand-flee it is for hubby bought the 18" sand-flee so I hope the stand is the right one.

Welcome from North Dakota.  You have a great husband!  that exact basket was one f my first peces.  My story is that I found scroll work to take the place of being a fine detail artist.  I had a stroke and can't paint anymore.
So what a great MEDICINE scrollwork is.  And this bunch is the greatest.

Hi Judy
yes that is one of my favorite pieces if memory serves me right I think it came from a berrybasket book. Its been so many years now. I gave the book away so I am not sure. Do you remember where the pattern came from I would like to have it again.

Judy I just realized that you may be talking about the small fretwork basket and not the big one cut out of 3/4" oak on the first page of this thread. ???
