This sun moon clock earned a first place ribbon.	Celtic Dragon Cross	The SECRET to winning raffle items at the PA picnic - "I found a HORSESHOE by the picnic site stuck in the road about 50 feet from the ravine. I put it on this old door I found, and cut out some words."	These are some of the projects that Robert entered at the PA Scrollsaw Contest, June 15, 2002. This 3 panel nativity scene is made from red oak.
This kokopelli scene earned an Honorable Mention.	This was made from 6 different kinds of wood. white oak, red oak, pine, maple, cedar, and bamboo.	This was made from 1 1/4 inch Poplar which I found on the job as well as finding the figurines.	I call this the family flag. When my mother past away I went to the cemetery often. One day when I got to the plot I saw them putting my mothers stone down. I went over to them and asked if I could have the wooden crate the stone was shipped in. They said sure, and I made the flag from it. The big star represents my mother the other 7 are for me, my wife, and our 5 children
Robert used the transfer tool to get the SAW log on the cap in this picture	This is the original photograph that Robert used to create the previous portrait	This was sold to a lady who did not want the eagle.	o I took it home and made a flag stand with USA on it
This was a mothers day card I bought for my wife. I was doing victorian shelf's at the time and when I saw this card I had to cut it So I did. I cut. it framed it, and gave it to her for mothers day	This is a business card holder. and if you look at it you will see a woman putting her husbands nose to the grind stone. Great theme for a business cardholder	This is an eagle I saw as someone's logo I liked it so I cut it.	This was one of the first inside cut projects I did I was doing anything USA at the time. Uncle Sam, Statue of liberty, and flags
This was a pattern some guy gave me to cut for him.  I didn't like it but he paid $50.00 for it. It was cut from a 3ft piece of pine	This is one of many crosses that I cut. I was thinking about bringing them to craft shows but I think it would be a bad seller as far as time it takes to cut and price you have to get for it.	For a while every craft show was asking for south western. So I made some. Most of these are my designs. This was my biggest seller at $45.00 the bulls head	Coming in second was the welcome sign
I did most of the burning with a blow torch, But as you can see I used a wood burning tool for the welcome shelf.	This is more south western. The first one is also the first clock I ever made, the coyote moon. I put a cactus in the ones I made after this one. The cactus was part of the moon like the clouds coming out of the sides. Guess I was doing segmentation before i knew it existed. The second one is a combination of two patterns the first was 2 coyotes howling at the moon and the second was an indian, sort of flying. So I put them together and got 2 coyotes howling at a moon with an indian flying out of that moon. I think I gold leafed some of it too. The last is a bulls head. I burn them with a blow torch add rope to the horns and hang some wooden feathers on some. The feathers also have a little carving as does the head it self.
These are the two clocks that I have in my apartment. Did you ever hear "I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night"? Well that's what I got. When I get up I have breakfast with the sun clock in the dining room. At bed time its the sleeping moon in the bed room. I guess you can call them segmentation. The sun clock was an intarsia project. with all 12 sun rays the grain goes in the direction of each number.		Robert has been busy making portraits
One more portrait	I made a lot of victorian shelves which I gave to my family because they didn't sell very well, and I wasn't going to give them away to any one but family. They were mostly made of 1/4 in poplar. The first shelf is just a lot of curves. The second is bird and reindeer shelf. I like the shelf's with animals on them. the third shelf is birds in a cherry tree. The shelves are hard to sell at craft shows even though everyone liked them they didn't want to pay much for them.
These are made from wine boxes. They measure 7-5/8" long 2-3/8" high (without the legs) 1-1/4" thick
