britetomro Posted March 8, 2016 Report Posted March 8, 2016 This is my latest Scroll Saw Shell. It is also make of Baltic Birch Ply like the last one. Wanted to go a bit larger and used 6 wedges which resulted in 72 segments. Stood all of the pieces on edge to see how long the Shell would be if it could be unrolled and it measured over 43". The mouth opening of the Shell is 9.5" wide and it is 8" tall and 9" deep. The finish is about 8 coats of spray poly sanded between coats. These are a lot of fun to make. Thanks for looking. lawson56, Birchbark, bobscroll and 2 others 5 Quote

wombatie Posted March 8, 2016 Report Posted March 8, 2016 Wow amazing. Always unbelievable to think its wood and not an actual shell. Do you sell many or do you keep them? Marg Quote
