hotshot Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 This fretwork was found in First United Methodist Church in Murfreesboro, TN. From a distance, it looks like one piece, close up you can see how he put it together. I would love to see the saw he did this on. It could have been with a hand fretsaw, but I doubt it. I'm thinking early pedal powered model. GrampaJim, Dan, jollyred and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny Knappen Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 That is amazing, Randy. It must have been pedal power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsN Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 That is an impressive piece on many levels. If it was done with today's saws and pattern making it would be awesome, but to think it was done 132 years ago is truly impressive. danny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 (edited) That piece is truly awesome. I too wonder what scroll saw was used and the amount of time it took to create. Thank you Randy for posting it. Edited April 30, 2017 by stoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
