dgman - did you go to the gallery? 
For the rest, the Sisters are both negative and positive images, i.e. brown walnut or white overlay

This project has been done for awhile now but the first "good" snow here in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota has kept me indoors so I'm brag-en. I consider this my 1st creation although I got the inspiration from an art piece depicting the execution of 16 Discalced Carmelite Nuns July 17, 1794. [See if you can count the Sisters on the Cross posted in the Gallery] I made this for one of my wife's and my good friend, Sister Mary Agnes of the Monastery in Alexandria, SD, for her silver jubilee.

Rog - that highlight on the front of your vase is proof positive that your finishing is AAA rated or higher. That is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

Gb that IS an antique saw. I still have the manual & parts list with mine. It's from 1939 and many parts are under 1 dollar to replace. [Back then]

Butcher Block mineral oil is one of my favorites. It fills in like Danish Oil natural but has two advantages for me. First, Danish Oil has a lasting odor [my wife can smell] and Mineral Oil leaves my baltic birch ply a more natural "white" color compared to a slight yellow-brown color with Danish Oil.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Saw in the Basement
« on: November 30, 2011, 02:11:25 pm »
Our unfinished basement is MY WIFE'S book storage. The library of congress has a couple less books. Any of my scroll saw dust would not be allowed. Soooo - I partitioned off one of the three stalls in the garage, insulated the doors, installed an overhead gas heater, and dress warmer. When temps drop below 32 it gets to costly to heat, so I only go out when my mental health requires it - [most of the time]. My friend Silver Sliver has the best of both worlds. He lives here in Sioux Falls, SD 9 months of the year and then early Dec. he goes to Fld. for 3 months and stays with one of his son - and scrolls down there. Equipment in two states. Now that living.

Richard - I'm glad you brought this sad subject up. I'm also glad to read [other responses] that we scrollers have similar life values. It's nice to know we share more than patterns & saw dust.
