This piece received first place in advance fret at the Heart of Ohio Scroll Saw Picnic. It then went on to take best in show. Never had that happen before. Kinda excited about that. My own design too. :)

Walnut frame 14.5" wide/18.5' High... and the cutting is 1/4 inch Spanish Cedar.

[Don Bullock]

Jon, congratulations. Your award is well deserved.

[Chuck Lenz]

Very nice Jon, Congradulations. Which scrollsaw do you have ?

[Jon Lanier]

Very nice Jon, Congradulations. Which scrollsaw do you have ? Got a good deal on a used Hawk G4. A couple of things I like about this saw is that it is a good top feeder. The other thing I like is the variable blade angle adjustment.

Congratulations, Jon! Very nice work!

Got a good deal on a used Hawk G4. A couple of things I like about this lathe is that it is a good top feeder. The other thing I like is the variable blade angle adjustment. Still thinking about the Oliver I see. You better come get it before the snow starts flyin. I figured you had a pretty nice scrollsaw. I just have a Craftsman Contractors Variable speed Scrollsaw. It's been a pretty good saw for what little scroll work I have done, which is mostly stuff like corbels, shelves and some small signs. I've never tackled anything like what you have done, but it does look like fun and obviously rewarding.

"Best of show" was well deserved. The piece is beautiful.

[Ralph Okonieski]

Congratulations. Very nice !

[Greg Peterson]

Wow. How many hours did that take?

Very nice work.

[Jon Lanier]

Wow. How many hours did that take?

Very nice work.
Greg, I've was asked that many times now, and for the life of me I don't know. I'd work on it here, there, everywhere so I'm not too sure. If I were to guess, not including design time, I'd say 15-20 hours.

[Raymond Fries]

I like the pattern and it turned out well. I really like the wood choice with that pattern. Congratulations on your award.

[Gary Keedwell]

Really nice...I tried scrolling years ago and wasn't very good. I can really appreciate some one who is good like you.;)
