Standing the Test of Time

Very nice looking – I have not tackled one that large YET – someday.

-- Just learning the craft my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ practiced.

Very, very impressive. That will be enjoyed for many generations.

John,
That looks great. Ironic that you didn’t keep the time it took to make when building a wonderful device to keep time! I’m sure future generations of your family will treasure this heirloom piece.

Awesome work! I have seen that plan and I would like to do that one too! It looks great in walnut. I was thinking cherry for mine as I have it on hand.

Holy smokes, that’s a lot of cutting! But it sure does look spectacular!

jerrells: Thanks for the comments, I always enjoy seeing your scroll saw projects.

Chuck: Thanks for the kind words. The kids, all four of them say they want one. Not going to happen.

Joel; You are right, I guess now that I have a clock I should time my projects. Still have your bread knives on my to do list. Do I have to count the time it takes to actually get started on a project?

Thanks woodtickgreg. I am sure you could make a beauty out of cherry.

Thomas: No one that really knows me. I did enjoy the build.

Jim; Thanks for the comment. You are always so encouraging.

Wow John, congratulations on an outstanding piece of cutting! This will surely be a family heirloom, and looks fantastic in walnut.

Where is the pattern from?

-- Aim high. Ride easy. Trust God. Neale Donald Walsch

Amazing John.
That took a LOT of patience and dedication.
good luck with the challenge.

Thanks Mathew; I picked up the pattern from a garage sale. I think it was from Wildwood Designs but not sure.

Paul: Thanks for the comment. Not so much patience as stubbornness.

-- John, Colorado's (Wooden Wizard)

Absolutely an heirloom. Will be loved for many generations.

-- DJ Peck, Lincoln Nebraska. Lord, keep your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

That obviously took a lot of patience and skill and it was well worth it.

You definitely made time a timeless treasure!
