My vote is for Berta's butterfly thingy. She got me thinking spring at the beginning of march.

Here is a scroll saw bowl. It is made from Sappele. For those who have never seen one before, it is made from a single 4/4 board. This was inspired by ScottM and Carole Rothman.

The bicyclist is made from tigerwood, the wood at the beginning and end of the words is walnut, and the base is cherry. This is a Steve Good pattern.

This is another Steve Good pattern and it is a scroll saw jewelry box. It is made from walnut and maple.

Gee I think I can do this one. I have made a piece or two.
This was a commission piece made for the retiring director of a local women's choir. The design is my own. If you can read music the notes are the actual notes of the song "May you always have a song". The woods are walnut and maple.

I had this at the Klingspore Grand Opening on Saturday and he drew a lot of interest.
He's called "The Keeper of Time". I made him from 2 pieces of red oak that was salvaged from a pallet. He's about 3/8" thick. The seam is horizontal about in the center, but is almost invisible. Every line and scale of him was saw cut using a #2 blade. He took about 50 hours to make.

OK they all are cool but the butterfly is the coolest
Here is the "Tree of Life" coaster set I made for my daughter (she loves anything that has a "tree of life" theme to it). The design of the coasters and the holder was mine, but I used someone else's tree of life pattern. It came from a large wall hanging, but I shrunk it down to fit into a 3 inch by 3 inch coaster. What was I thinking? And then if that wasn't challenge enough, I was intent on inlaying this tiny/intricate pattern into contrasting wood (I used walnut and maple). And then I repeated that excruciating exercise 6 times, one for each coaster.

Jim,
Those are REALLY cool and I think I know where the Pattern came from -

I JUST picked it up from the library Monday and planned to share it in this thread because there were SO many neat patterns and projects!
It is in there, even if you found it somewhere else...
That is a cool stool!
I also had this cross at the Klingspore Open House on Saturday and it drew a lot of interest. It is made from a single solid piece of 3/4" thick Mahogany and the pattern is from Wildwood Design. After cutting it out on the scroll saw I carved back the vines and leaves below the surface of the cross and shaped them using a dentist drill type of engraving/carving tool (1/16" dia bits and 400,000 rpm). Then I coated the whole cross with tung oil, followed by an application of olive green Rub-N-Buff to the leaves. I'm in the process of making 4 more of these.
