Montserrat Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Had so much leftover wood from intarsia pieces that I went for a barn quilt. Man - cutting straight lines that fit together on a scroll saw is cruel and unusual punishment. Then you glue stuff together and don't pay attention. At some point I stopped counting how many times I sawed apart what I myself or "helpful hubby" glued together. And then some pieces I had to re-saw. But here we are: 125 CSL, Lucky2, jollyred and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Looks nice. I agree it would be difficult on a scroll saw. I would have headed to a table saw. Pretty choice of woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Monk Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Beautiful job. You can sure cut a lot straighter than I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyred Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 Really nice. I need to make my wife one of those, but I think I will straighten out the sides on a disk sander. My "straight" lines aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty choice of woods. Husband said the little pieces were too small and dangerous on the table saw. And the band sander for some reason does not yield completely straight edges either. Thank you everybody for your kind words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
