Last year Dale sent me one of his incredible christmas decorations sanwiched between 2 layers of Red Oak. I kept these pieces until I found something I really wanted to cut. Well when I received the pattern of a tree I thought that was just perfect! So I laminated the pieces together and here it is. I used a #1 spiral to cut the tree (first real try with a spiral - not the new type either) and a polar #3 to cut the rest. Now I have my very own Red Oak tree from America! Thanks Dale!! Hope I done justice to your wood!

A wonderful job Teresa.
This leads me to an idea.
Wouldn't it be awesome for us to send samples of wood from our own countries to scrolling friends around the world.
Almost like a pattern exchange.
They could be cut the same dimensions as our quilt blocks.
The wood could be identified with the species, the name of the contributor and the place it came from.
As recipients we could make our own quilt or even a scrapbook of woods.
I am not sure how this would work out and we need to finish the quilt first, but it is food for thought.CAЯL HIRD-RUTTEЯ"proud member of the best scroll sawing forum on the net."Ryobi SC180VS scroll saw EX21

Another Brilliant idea Carl
Good idea Carl,
I want figured Australian Cedar, like Tony Ward uses for his boxes.
I want to make a mini-clock for my office with it. Maybe a Dragon, but I'll let the wood tell me what it wants to be.
Someone?
Please?
Pretty Please?
Ok..., after the quilt.
Just thought I'd ask,

Wood swap
A good idea so long as one takes care of how they fill in the customs label. If wood was written on it it sure as heck runs the risk of confiscation here. Maybe put a photo between boards and just label it photograph!
I like the idea of it being a five inch square - I could have a several trees like my red oak one. But then I now have another couple of ideas which I'll keep to myself at this stage.Cheers. Teresa .

WOW!! That looks beautiful. I am so glad you posted that! It looks sooo neat! What I didnt notice is that you didnt say the size of that little piece of red oak! It is much smaller then it appears in that picture! I cant remember how big it was, but I dont recall it being any bigger then a 4 inch square! I would say you done great, you are a master! It was my pleasure sharing with you, I would do it anytime! DaleDale w/ yella saws

Reply to My lucky day!by JeffieKHere in Mid-Michigan, my wife & I (both 65) got our first shot - the Pfizer one - last Sunday; with our second one scheduled for March 21st. Both of us were a little fatigued that evening... went to be early. Next day, just had a sore arm where we received the shot. Hope it's that way with the second...
