Almost finished with this one. Not an original pattern, just playing around with colors again. It's all one piece of poplar and stained with a combination of Golden Oak and Artist Oils.

Thanks for the comments guys. I need to take a day and go fishing to dump some stress!! Bob...you can do it, all you have to do is start. Once you get rollin' things just sort of fall into place. I've made my share of designer firewood over the years but every mistake was a learning experience.If it don't fit, don't force it....get a bigger hammer!!

Neal, that fish looks so lifelike! You've got such patience to be able to paint the spots so carefully - I'd get bored and end up with loads of splodges. I really love the way you've embellished the fins with carved lines. Did you do those manually? You must have a very steady hand if so.

I love it Neal - you did a super job on the colors.----- but-- I have gotten some artist oils for Christmas and I don't have the touch you do with them- what do you do to the wood to make it absorb like that - I tend to want to hurry to get them glued and that sometimes means touching wet oils --urgh..

My oils don't want to stick like yours do -- how did you do it.. Where did you get that pattern?

I get a private message on the forum to which I reply but suspect new people to the forum don't check for a response.
So please, if you have sent me a PM check for a response.-

Reply to Hegnerby RolfThe Hegner like some other saws have a sweet spot or not so sweet spot where they may vibrate. I know they need to have a solid footing.
When we were younger (2005) we used to bring our saws to our club meeting in an old barn with wooden floors. The seasoned scrollers all had Hegners. The rest...-

Reply to Eccentric adjustmentby RolfI assume you are talking about changing the stroke length. Looking at the manual it says you can shorten it for cutting thin wood and or metal. I have never known anyone that did that. We have several Hegner owners in our club. I am not one of them.
