This is a teaser photo! There isn't alot of detail to cut out, so while I am down in Waco, I would love some ideas on what the masses think about what might look better, leaving the state's shape as a solid piece like my south carolina quarter or cutting out the inside only have the outline remaining?

I like the idea of cutting out the inside of the state with the outside remainig. That way you can see the space station floating as well.

LOL, it was probably the space station to the Wright brothers. But I do agree, it would seem more in flight if you cut out the inside. Dang Seamus, you keep showing this stuff, you are going to make me have to try it. It looks very interesting to me. And quite the challenge. I might be biting off more than I can chew, still being so new to turning and all. But I do have a tendency to just jump in and go for the gold.:eek:

I say go for it! I would be... but I don't have a scrollsaw! yet.
 
Ohio quarter

This was my first thought. Excuse the crude drawing but hopefully you get the idea.

Thats exactly what i envisioned! I just think it adds another level of difficulty that sometimes is nerve racking while i am cutting:rolleyes:. It only takes one wrong move or vibration from the blade to snap
 
Now see, I knew I would get comments on this and would have to give a history lesson. Now everyone knows the Wright brothers were flying around in NC when that famous flight happened.
So Ohio can claim the space station with the space suite on their quarter. :biggrin:
Must need new glasses.........:rolleyes:

Well, the quarter does say "birthplace of aviation pioneers"... I thought the same thing until I read a little closer.
 
well, talk about scary, the outline of the state of Ohio is super thin, wow, that was tough!

Awesome work Seamus. I'm just sorry you didn't take my advice on how to cut it out. I think it would have really added a lot to that quarter.:rolleyes:
 
Hey, nice job on the quarter cut out. The SPACE STATION turned out real nice in the background.:biggrin:

Seriously, excellent job as usual!
 
(Years of practice and a steady pair of hands! (+ much better eyes than this 60 yr old has :rolleyes:)

I am having a hard enough time trying to do 3-D holiday patterns, I agree with Socdad also I seem to have to blink a thousand times to see the lines let alone try to trace something as small as a quarter. Great work as usual.

If it makes everyone feel better, sometimes these lines do get twisted, but that is usually when i'm super tired, and I typically turn things off and quit when it gets that bad, cuz thats when i start messing things up:yawn:

Nope; doesn't make me feel better. Maybe a South Dakota quarter would do the trick.:biggrin:
