| Robert, that's a great design and cutting. I assume that's a swallowtail?
BTW, isn't the butterfly off center, horizontally?
It's nice to see you back. You've been kinda scarce. |

|  Excellent job on pattern design and cutting.
I also like the colour behind the flowers.

| Thanx for the kind words everyone . I am pretty happy with this one . Time has not been my friend lately  I work for Home Depot Supply and if you read or watch the news at all you know what a tough time they're going through. Well that trickles right down the ranks unfortunately . I try to keep up with my online family though, and sometimes taking 5 minutes to read the posts here makes all the difference in my sanity ![006[1]](http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/images/smilies/006[1].gif) I hope to find more time to be active soon
Mike the placement is on purpose. I had it centered originally and to my mind's eye it just looked better moved up with more wood exposed on the bottom
Thanx again everyone .....you guys are often the brightest spot in my otherwise frustrating days of late
