I finally finished the blue heron designed by Bruce Worthington. The body of the heron was created from some spalted maple harvested from our own trees. The reeds are cherry. The beak, underbelly and legs are "mystery wood" found in my box of wood from Larry the Wood Guy. The swamp water is also "mystery wood" from a local pallet company. The log is a piece of drift wood found on the beach of Lake Erie. I found this pattern to be a real challenge and it makes a spectacular finished project. Thanks Bruce for another great pattern.

It would be truly helpful if all publications were to clearly state on each pattern "enlarge pattern by x% for full size" or something like that which would clue the user in. But I'm like Rolf....I change the size of every pattern to get what I want.

by RolfI agree with you Mark, I am constantly changing or adapting my patterns to suit my taste or the size of the wood that is available to me. Thinking about electronic versions of the patterns, that would be great. But very hard to control. It amazes me how many people have no scruples about sharing....

by Quartz43Perhaps, we could hear from Fox. Maybe they could try some things and see if it makes things better. Or, they can just keep doing the things the same way.
