hi russ,
all of my portraits are from other talented scrollers over the yrs that ive acquired as a member of other scroll saw forums/sites such as msn, etc. i havent conquered the skill of pattern making as of yet, that will be my new project when i can slow down long enough to pay attention and learn lol. i do have my eye on the coyote stencil program after watching steve's demonstration of it in one of his videos.
