      Tons of options.

      There is Coyote, which was designed specifically for wood workers, there is GIMP, Inkscape...which will trace your image with multiple scans., Photoshop, Corel.
      I use Serif PaintPlus, or PagePlus, There is also DrawPlus which will trace the image.

      There is Graphic Workshop from Alchemy Mindworks.
      There is Professor Franklin.

      The list is almost endless. Just remember that the software is only a tool and the real portrait is made my modifying the image after is is converted. Not every photo wll work and not every stencil makes a good pattern.

        I would recommend picking up psp and getting kerry_nf tutorial. Andy has put together one also for Adobe photo shop. Not sure if you have any experience with these programs.

              So many are selling them here it’s not worth us making them. However, we do very well with our dough boards. Nobody else makes them. We have an order for a dough board and matching pepper grinder. The walnut board I could make into a beautiful basket or two and sell for lots more than they are getting...

              I use #7 on my younger kid puzzles. Easier for them to put together.

              I did forget to mention he cut a finger on his left hand with the bandsaw. Just took skin off. Lucky again. Told him he was calling 911 next time.

              Jim, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, on the left you’ll find some style options that change the font size and color. I’ve been using Defalt vB5 Style, and it seems to be about the best for my iPad, but I’m still experimenting with my iMac.
