For my wife from all the grandkids.

I was going to take credit for the frame style but she had already looked at the last issue.

That is a great idea and the portraits look amazing.
Downloaded coyote stencil last night and couldn't get the picture like yours.
As soon as I get it working I want to make something for my mother now that she is a grandmother.

Tom: Superb execution of the designs and the scrollwork of this terrific project. It will become a family heirloom. It tickled me immensely to see your wife's choice for the frame. I'm very happy to see that you obliged. Dick

Great job Tom. Portraits look great. The frame looks terrific. A little thing that is impressive is the rounded off corners, gives a very classy look.

Wow is all I can say. That is something that will be around forever and always cherished. Glad to see I'm not the only one stealing some of Dick's ideas.
