Well here is the Louisiana state quarter. This took me around 2 1/2 hrs to cut. All comments welcome!

Gorgeous but then again everyone you have done has been awesome. Even the penny one in a different post. I remember in the 70's cutting them out with a jewelers coping saw and making necklasses out of mercury dimes and liberty standing quarters. Those were stoneage compared to what you are doing now. Keep up the outstanding work, it is always beautiful eye candy!!!

Its off by 2 states. Other than that I will give it a pass. Have you thought about putting that over some LSU colors.

Looks great! I wouldn't stick that one in a Coke machine :biggrin: but it's going to look awesome on a pen.

I'm speechless! Your craftsmanship is amazing. I do so scrolling and for someone to cut on one item for 2.5 hours is truly a lesson in patience. Awesome work.

thanks everyone! I know its tedious, but the sections like florida or maine are the scariest areas to cut, even the feet of the bird! Its learning where to cut first so those areas arent compromised throughout the rest of the cutting(from even the slightest vibrations).

Seamus you did a super great job (or for you, fun) on this one. How long do we wait for the pen?

You certainly do not do yourself any favors when making your cuts. You leave such tiny connecting pieces - I cannot understand how you can work with such precision.

All I got to say is WOW!!
Thats a lot of work, looks great.
Do you resaw the quaters first? Also what kind of magnifing visors (optivisors) do you use? Back 20 + some odd years ago when I could still see I used to do a lot of small intricate die work for electronic components, and used an SPI product I think they were called Magna Visors then I had a triple loop mounted on the front of them to take the magnifaction (spelling?) down even more.
Takes a bit to get used to working like that, but I'm sure you know that. :wink:
Cant wait to see that in a pen blank. Great work.

believe it or not, I use an el cheapo from H.F. But my eyes are still good so far, so high magnification isn't too necessary.
