smitty0312 Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) Finally finished it this morning.......went outside my comfort zone on this one, but am pleased with the results.........I won't be painting or staining, that will be done by the person I built it for so I hope I get a finished picture.......this was cut on my DW788 scroll saw using FD SR#5 blades (I don't have a band saw)........angles was made with miter saw......this was made from 2x4 lumber planed down to 1.125".....center hub was made from 2 pieces of 3/4" pine routed and joined together......it measures 36" from handle to handle.......I have been posting progress pics all week in the "General" scroll saw section.......comments please......
