General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: college mascots

There could be a problem.  I know that college logos are registered trademarks of the school.  As such you have to get permission, buy the rights, to use the logos.  I would check with a few schools to see what they have to say about their mascots.  Let us know what you find out, please.

90% of what I do is red oak.  I stain it in a bath of MinWax Golden Oak.  it is then sprayed with poly (not from a rattle can).  For woods like walnut, maple, pecan, etc I may use MinWax Natural or Danish Oil.  If I use Natural I will spray it with poly.  If I use Danish Oil that is all I do.  Like several people have stated, it all depends upon what I am doing.

Introduce Yourself. / Hi from Sugar Land, TX

« on: April 19, 2010, 10:45:49 pm »

Hi Folks and greetings from southeast Tx, aka Houston.  I have been scrolling for seven years now and just love it to the point that my wife says if it doesn't involve my woodworking, I don't pay any attention to it.  To a point she is correct, but I have to build up my inventory for my fall craft shows.  Anyway, I'm glad to be here and look forword to see folks from around the world are doing.

You can see some of my work at my website:  www.normsscrollsawart.com
