Hello all ,me and my fiance have gotten into scroll sawing and have had some successes and well let me say some firewood has been created. We have started off with cutting Christmas ornaments for our first tree together and let me say they are wonderful. My fiance has come across some compound cuts and well hes not a 3D fanatic and his work is great. We got a piece of wood and let me say even our table saw doesn't like to cut it. Any help on how to cut Jatoba wood (Brazilian Cherry) will greatly be appreciated? We both currently live in PA and well in the winter guess there isn't much to do is sit down at a saw and get lost in your cuts.

Hi Anna and Anthony, welcome to the Village.  I'm Marg from Australia.  Do you ever fight over who's turn it is to use the saw????????????  We love photos so just pop them in Bragging Rights and they us see your masterpieces.  If you have any questions someone is bound to have the answer,  So pull up a chair and make yourself at home.

Welcome to you both.

This is a great little village and there is a multitude of patterns for you to enjoy.

There is also a wealth of knowledge, but you have to ask.

Anna and Anthony.... Welcome!!! Enjoyed reading your INTRO.

Jatoba, I had some Jatoba once. There is no real help on cutting Jatoba.

New blades, go slow. 

Maybe metal cutting blades and maybe someone who cuts MDF will tell what blades they use

Welcome. i am unable to answer your questions on the wood as i use only common local woods. But I am glad that you have discovered the fun of scrolling. Maybe a less dense wood would be a good place to hone your skills. It sounds like you are rather  ambitious and not afraid to try most anything.. Good luck, Hang out here and someone will most likely know about the woods you are asking about here.
