A few weeks back I posted the first pic to Lumberjocks and FaceBook. Several people emailed me saying that the pic was a fake and couldn't be scrolled. I even received a message from a noted designer asking if it were real.

I finally put the project in a frame. Hobby Lobby was having their 50% off framing deal again, that's what I was waiting for. The frame still cost me 60.00.

Today, I posted the second pic to FB and received three inquiries in under an hour about purchase. BTW....I have made numerous sales from FB.

I sell my art framed or unframed. Most buyers that can pay for art usually don't complain about the frame expense. Some buyers purchase their frame at WalMart and wonder why the art doesn't look right. My opinion is to steer away from these sales.

Hope you enjoy.

Hello,
very nice job. It's so intricate that I understand some people can't believe it's real fretwork.
I visited your website when Steve Good presented it 2 weeks ago, I think; Is it possible ?

Wow...!!!!
That is sick...And I mean that in the best of possible ways....

I can only imagine the cramps in your fingers keeping that thing together while you cut...
...Awesome...!!!!

That is one fantastic project!! Beautifully done.
2 questions
Where do you get your pattern? or do you create your own pattern?
What type of wood is it?
Beautiful project, framed or not. That delicate of work, I think I would prefer it framed. DIY doesn't usually do it justice.
Hats off to a beautiful project.
Thank you for sharing the photos.

Thanks for the kind words from everyone. BUT it seems that there are still people that question my 20 years behind a scrollsaw.To see a video on how I cut this pattern, here is a YouTube link, Cutting Intricate Scrollsaw Patterns - YouTube
Please, if you want to discuss this pattern send me an email that isn't through this forum,[email protected]

I've had people look at my inlay work and say, "I could do that with a CNC". I hate it when people say that. It took me years to get to where I am.
Go John Henry...!!!...LOL.
