I finally got to saw again this weekend. I had to move everything out of the house to a storage building. It does not have cooling so when the weather is 100 - 115 degrees I stay in the air conditioned house.

This is one of mine and I think for a first try it came out nice. I have to work on my drill holes. Has anyone tried to fill them after cutting the pattern out?

Hope you like it. I would really like your feedback.

That is nice. For those drill holes, here are 2 options.
1. Use a smaller drill bit for your entry holes.
2. try drilling part way down the vein and you can feather the sides out so the hole is not so noticeable.

Hope that helps.

Back in my days of collecting antique pottery, I used to carry a a small blacklight unit to check for repairs that were invisible to the naked eye. I never knew that it could detect glue spots. That's a lot neater than using mineral spirits, or waiting until a sealer coat of shellac reveals missed...

Being a diet controlled type 2 diabetic, I check my glucose. Checked before my shot on Tuesday it was fine. Checked on Wednesday after a morning walk expecting to see less than 100 and about fainted when it read 158. Every check has been 150 or more since then. Started reading and yes, the shots can...

Not yet Jim. The corners of the baskets to appear to be drawn by hand or just a bad copy. The price might go up. Thanks Linda. For some reason I really like doing layered baskets. And my customers like buying them. Bruce read a blacklight shows glue spots. Guess what he bought me from harbor freight...
