With the background story about the wood, those will be cherished for generations to come. Very well done."Still Montana Mike"

Beautiful job. It will be an heirloom. How about writing that story up and putting a copy inside the back of each of those pieces. Then the story will not be lost. Make sure you identify your grandparents, yourself, the occasion and date of the gift, and the names of the high school graduates. You do want to keep that story with the gift.
Just a thought

What a wonderful son! What an inspirational piece and a lovely story. I think you should send this story/link to heartwarmers.com - I subscribe to them and this is the exact kind of story we read every week. Someone - a loving son - is able to warm the hearts of so many with a heart felt gift. The portraits are great! The mounting is great! You are top notch in your soul and top notch in the wood working.
Thanks for posting this.

What a fantastic project! And well executed as well. Outstanding!
I really like the idea of making projects from source wood that has some family history. Yours is perfect! Not everyone has the luxury of being able to do that. I've made furniture for both my daughters as wedding presents. The wood came from trees harvested from their grandfather's farm. The trees themselves didn't have any sentimental value, but the fact that they have that connection, through the generations, is really cool and makes the piece even more of a treasure, especially as it gets handed down to future generations.Homer : "Oh, and how is education supposed to make me feel smarter. Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain."

Thanks Rose and Carole for the great feedback and ideas for documenting this project for future generations...I put together a write up of the piece and also included a family tree diagram going back to the grand kid's great grandfather...the colonel who owned the house with the cherry tree. I'm having those run out at work on a digital press and then I'll film laminate them on both sides to better protect and serve the test of time and then I'll glue them to the backside of each set of portraits.---Joel; Central MD...rookie empter nester and getting back into woodworking!

by shop dogHi everyone...long time, no post.
Last year, i was using a website to generate scrollsaw portraits. I lost the link, and forget the name of the site. If it's permitted here, could someone refresh my memory?
Thanks, Steve-

Reply to The St-Nicolas sheriffby jim_mexHi Planeur - this sure is an amusing character and I fully understand why you like it. Also, since it is your first intarsia piece you should definitely keep it and sign and date the reverse. It will serve as a great benchmark for your future projects to see how you progress.
