Mal, in American Sign Language the sign represents the letters....I L Y....meaning I Love you and the hand is Jesus' hand showing His crucifixion mark. I am a part-time interpreter for deaf people and have made a few of these as gifts.Very nice work, Alan !!!
So ... question (and anybody can answer !) . . . that saluting hand on the RHS of the pic . . . just curious . . .
What is that salute used for ? ( It's not the two-finger salute for Victory, which uses different fingers. )
Thanks John. I always look for ways to incorporate scrolling into pen making, though find that its bandsaw or table saw for accuracy. If I had some sort of fence for the scroll saw I may use it more.Love the work. I am a sucker for this type of woodworking. The fret work and the Intarsia cuttings exemplifies how the scrollsawing artform can paint pictures with the use of woods. Just as segmenting pen blanks and even bowls and other items can in their own artform. Well done. Thanks for showing.
Thank you for explaining!!! Love it.Mal, in American Sign Language the sign represents the letters....I L Y....meaning I Love you and the hand is Jesus' hand showing His crucifixion mark. I am a part-time interpreter for deaf people and have made a few of these as gifts.
Incorporating both artforms can lead to many new and interesting designs. Also taking the scrollsawing and other woodworking talents can lead to some nice pen stands and even pen display boxes.Thanks John.
