Around the corner Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Heres a project I made this summer.Our woodworking club challenged us to make something out of one two by four with no nails or dowelsonly glue and any machine used so I put my scrollsaw talent to use and these silouettes came out of it copying a picture of a women in a scrollsaw magazine making cards in wood,Was a great challenge.We were supposed to exchange but I said my wife wants them. They stand about thirty inches high by seven wide done with a spiral blade.The board was cut in half glued together side by side in 3 segements sanded then scrolled from a picture using rapid resizer and sanded again then base attached.Took me about 6-8 hours from start to finish Scrolling Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tindi Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 That is jaw dropping I'm in awe! How much time did you have to finish it? Did you add colour or stain to it later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the corner Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Thanks everyone I am probably just going to spray clear varathane on it as even spruce looks good clear and if we decide to hang them I may have to cut the base off.

Tdub4ever Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Those are pretty cool. If they are 2 x 4s cut in half and you used a spiral blade to cut them, what size spiral did you use? I've tried using spirals on 1/2" and they don't work. I either had to use a large spiral which wasn't able to cut any fine detail, or use a small spiral which wasn't able to cut the wood. I have a cople projects I'd like to do in 1/2" with a spiral so I'm interested in knowing how you acheived those great pieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 You did an amazing job and you clearly are know your way around (pun intended ) a spiral blade. (I hate them) Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
