Great technique Dick. I like the fence on your bandsaw, nice piece of equipment. I sense this project will be something special.

Carvers always make it look so easy, but I’ve never found it so. That method for creating the plugs is really clever. I look forward to seeing he finished job Dick.

That’s beautiful, Dick.

Did you make the fence for your saw or did it come with it.? Great illustration in sequence and everything you’re getting to be quite the producer. Nice rose. mike

Mike’
the fence came with it, & its real sturdy. If you notice the two slots, it comes with a guide post that bolts to it, for following an identical curved piece.

Hi Dick;

Very imaginative!

I’m still not sure those are your hands though. LOL

Great idea, and your method is very clever.

Wow! Thanks for the step-by-step on the roses. I admire your talent.

Thank you Lee,

When I look at the picture, I have a hard time believing they’re mine. When I worked for a living in the grease,&

grime of equipment as mechanic, my fingers were always full of cracks, & scars filled with diesel soot.

It took 17 years to heal them. LOL

I’d like also to thank all of you for your kind comments.
