Here’s my offering,

In the form of a little carving, something
we should all remember and think about
on Mothers Day.

[Betty Woodall]

That will make a beautiful gift for some mother. BW

Kenm810,

Would it be possible to get the pattern for this. My neighbor's daughter just had a baby girl and this would be wonderful item to give her -- it very creative. I am currently awaiting parts, but hope to be back up in a couple of weeks, and would love to carve this.

Thanks

Mothers Day is the day after my birthday this year...and will be the first year without my mom. What a wonderful woman.

Thank you for the reminder and the jog in the memories of my mom.

I am going to make her one, she'll love it. Will have to be one for my wife as well, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.... you're awesome.

Keep up the good work,

Sure Andes,

I'm always willing to share,
I'm at work for another few hours and the file is on my desk computer at home.
I'll post it as soon as I get there.

Remember it's a .mpc vector file there is no .ptn file for it,
The Centerline Text and Drawing is all carved with 60 Degree Bit and only takes a few minutes.

Here ya go,

This is the .mpc file of “A Mothers Voice”
There is no .ptn file or pattern use so, save the .mpc to a folder, copy and paste the file to your desk top only then open it with Designer.
Any changes you make, centering, or moving any of the Vector Lines will change the Drawing. (Use the edit undo) it may be difficult for some folks to correct.
If you do want to move or change the size of the Drawing use the select all in the edit menu to hold the drawing together as you move it.
You’ll be surprised how quick and easy it is, to turn the whole thing into a birds nest.
If your centering any part of it including the text you will not be able to move it until the centering is clicked off or released.
I did the edge og on my routing table to save time on the machines cut motor.

Test carve on a piece of 5/8" birch Plywood --hmmm no chipout or clean up
