britetomro Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share 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. bobscroll, Lucky2, lawson56 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
