I am still working on completing one of each scroll. But I had to jump ahead because I was fascinated with this lesson. You, Mary May have so much skill... it is obvious you can feel the wood and what its doing, what it wants to do, and when it will fight you, you have solutions.. Need to watch this lesson, both parts again when I am ready to try. I am building a blanket chest that has poplar panels.. may just give this a go for the center panel..

Thanks much study needed by me . You are an excellent and thus far best teacher I have found on this stuff.
God bless

Thank you for your answer, I finished my donut and because I have a project coming up with a "50" in it I added a 5 to the donut.. for practice. You are such a good teacher, I think about the donut grain lessons all the time.

Bought a dozen quality chisels and gouges today... Tomorrow I am going to start the scroll.

Thank you so much for your answer and the tip on not using good tools on sanded wood.

GREAT project! It has been a challenge, especially, since I've been slacking the last few months.

I've learned two new design techniques:

DAWG - Design As We Go

and

DOE - Design On Error (When I got the sides of the petals reversed from what Mary did and had to ad lib ... )

I felt very much how you said you started in your intro video only I 'm a much slower learner just after several years getting an edge on an knife and axe. Destroyed many fine fan chisels trying to sharpen them . So as I recuperate I'm actually going to try for an education on proper hoe to so attention to sharpening for dummies I'm signing up for the videos , thanks
