Let me be the first to say job well done!!! Not only did you do a good job with the pictures but the mirror came out great. All that hard work payed off. The cuts are nice and crisp and the finish on it brings it out the color in the wood. Is it stained?? what did you use for woods and the finish?? I see Neil types faster than me. So I am the second.John T.

Wow, Wow, Wow
Beautiful wood, great pattern, EXCELLENT scroll work. As my teenage daughter would say "Kewl, you da bomb!""Orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names. They're easier to ignore before you see their faces. It's easier to pretend they're not real before you hold them in your arms. But once you do, everything changes."

Well done, Evie! It's gorgeous. I wouldn't have the patience to cut something like that.

Nice work, Evie!
It looks like a burl or some kind of stressed wood. The color is basically right for Black Acacia, which is indeed common in California, but the figure is much wilder than you would probably find in a regular board. The pics are rather too small to really say. Is it possible to take another, quite close up, of the flat surface of the shelf -- where thecamera is close enough that the board fills the frame?
Here's an image of black acacia in one of my favorite settings (I didn't make this):

by NC ScrollerI often resize just to fit the size of the wood I have on hand. I agree this is a no win situation because of the various software, hardware differences plus the skill level of us, the end users. Even providing the patterns in a digitized format will no fix this because of the reasons I already mentioned....

by RolfJohn your original post is a valid question. It is a simple thing to put in the original scale assuming that it was on the original drawing. As a minimum the size of the material required can be stated, although that has been a confusion for folks that have built the clock projects. I field a lot of...

by Quartz43Maybe nothing has changed ? But is there anything that can be done to make it easier. The very large projects are difficult to copy over several pages and put together properly. I believe in making improvements and not preserving the status quo.
I enjoy the challenge of cutting a project...-

by keystonecopThis is not a problem with the magazine for my issue.. It is a problem with the book having resized the drawings without giving the actual size.
I do again apologize for my post.. I cannot use the right words to explain it.. so maybe someone should just remove the post....-

by markdavdReading these replies, I am still trying to figure out what the problem really is. I haven't noticed changes in how they publish recently and I don't think I ever had trouble making copies of of the patterns I want to cut.
How did you copy the patterns 10 years ago? What has changed?...-
