|  Fire Wood Dragon Clock I"ve heard people on here talk about making fire wood by making a wrong cut in the wood but I've yet to see any,So I guess I'll be the first This took a little over 3 and 1/2 hours to cut, I've used this technique (The Blow torch) on other projects and the results were fine but this time OOOOOPS got to hot and I litterally made some fire wood  LOL glad I have another pattern.Jerry

| Jerry, that is a fire breathing dragon he might have been trying to burn you. Bob

| You're not alone, Jerry. Yesterday I was inlaying a symmetrical pattern. It had taken days to thickness and edge-laminate my boards, produce the pattern templates and so on. It was turning out rather nicely until I came to the penultimate inlay and accidentally scrolled widdershins when I should have been going clockwise. It's the nearest I've ever come to tears over something as insignificant as a couple of bits of wood. So I cheered myself up today with a visit to a lumber yard  . Well, I had to replace the wood that I'd messed up, didn't I? Okay, so I didn't have to replace it with African blackwood, purpleheart, hardrock maple, sapele and utile, but it's healthier than comfort eating  .Gill

| My condolences, Bob. I think it would be appropriate to finish the job and scatter the ashes (choke, sob..sob) over your saw while playing "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Louis.

 | Whoops! Shame about that Jerry - the blow torch technique looks interesting if it's not overdone ..

| I see it differently What I see is an oppurtunity and an accidental artistic discovery. With the exception of the bottom left, I think it looks good. If those pieces hadn't broke off you'd have something or at least I would. The burnt edges and spots add some character to a fire-breathing creature. The black, soothy talons and smoky chin kind of brings it alive, almost 3-D 'ish looking. I like it and it might be worth another try, with the heat turned down a tad of course.
