Holy smokes!!!! That is incredible there, ozark!

I', on to you though, save money on wood by cutting and selling air.....

Way cool, Bill!
He looks like one tough hombre. I think I'd fold.
Really fine cutting.

Thanks everyone! I had to stop and rethink my plan of attack on cutting him once I got started, I've got to go into work today so part two must wait untill I get home tonight. I've got it drilled and ready to go.

I'ts still to early this morning, I need more coffee, so I'll try and explain how I went about cutting this hombre later this evening. One thing I will say is, Sharp Blades!!!

Part two tonight.........

Very, Impressive work,
There isn't much wood left to keep it together.
Is it a Jeff Zuffino design?

Bill, you are the man. I am trying to follow in your footsteps. Keep up the pace and I'll try to keep up. I have learned a lot from you and your style.

[ozarkhillbilly]

Thanks Rolf and Mike and again everyone! I really appreciate all the comments from this group!

Good news, I'm home for the rest of the day and it's beautiful! AND I have the next two days off with more excellent weather forcast, so I am heading off to the saw and start making the saw dust fly!!!!!

Rolf, this pattern and the one I am getting ready to cut are both Charles Dearing patterns. If I understand and remember right, Charles had a site with all of his patterns for sale and viewing, but some low life(s) hacked into it and stole his patterns I believe you can still buy his patterns thru catalogs such as Scroller. The last issue of SSWC had a pattern of his also.

Now it's off to the saw!

Looks to me like a couple packages of Bull Durham tobacco.
