Easter Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

Easter is on April 1st this year.  So you have plenty of time to prepare for the holiday.  This challenge is open to interpretation.  Just do something for Easter.  This could be:

• Toys for the Kids
• Easter Baskets
• Candy holders
• Easter decor
• Bunnies...bunnies...and more bunnies.
• Bowls, place settings, napkin rings, centerpieces, etc for Easter Dinner
• Religious/Faith based projects
• Good Friday related

It's up to you.  This is your chance to be creative and make something for Easter.  Post a pic or your Easter project here.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I have a very good friend that likes to decorate her house for all the different occasions, so I made a napkins holder for Easter that she can use when the family comes over for dinner. Still have to apply the finish to it and also I will use the router to round off the edge of the base.

Very cute. Like the bunny motif.

I have recently finished two of these Easter Crosses for gifts.

The pattern is from Steve Good's site.  I added a larger base than was on his original pattern.

I used red oak and Pegas 2/0 spiral blades.

Thanks for having the challenges Travis. Always fun to see what people have to offer.  And who doesn't like a challenge?

My East bunny and Egg - colored...

Cute!

Here's one for you. It'd be the perfect day to choc coat a raw egg, or boiled, and wrap it as the real deal. You don't get this chance very often. You know you want to do it now that you've read this. It's stuck in your mind and you can see the funny side to it. Go on, be daring, do it.

I made an Easter Basket. Made from 1/2" cherry.

The pattern is from Alex Fox.

Very cool

Dad just moved into an assisted living complex here in Grande Prairie, so I made this for him.  Thanks to Kevin for telling me where to find the pattern (here in the SSV library).  I modified it by just doing the lettering.  Dad loved it more this way than with the fancy stuff on the sides.

Nice cutting.... I think letters are the biggest challenge.

I agree, one little slip or lapse of concentration and a person is hooped.  Have two more big lettering projects on the to do list and am not looking forward to them, BUT they will be so nice when done.  Meant to post this in the Easter challenge, do not know how it got here.  Have PM'd Travis to move it for me.  Thanks Paul.

Very nice indeed 

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

Very well done. That is a prayer no matter how it is cut out has and always will have that power of calmness and spiritual uplifting. I am sure it will be cherished forever. Thanks for showing. 

[WayneMahler]

Nice job cutting that. Happy to hear you Dad liked it.

[bobscroll]

Wow. Could I ask about the thickness of the wood and what blade you used. Just trying to learn from the masters.  

[Dan]

Very nice. All the other comments sum it up.

Stack cut one 1/4" and one 1/8" BB ply and used #3 ultra reverse blades.

awesome job

[Pancho]

Wow!! I dream of being able to scroll as well as you. 

[Blaughn]

That is nice work!!!  How big is the piece?

I have done several similar pieces and have found that Cherry and Walnut are too unforgiving on thin-bridge potential dropouts.  I now use 3/8" solid Jatoba (aka Brazilian Cherry).  It is extremely hard, and the interlocking grain is far more forgiving when scrolling small letters.

I have also found these projects are very stressful.  By the time you reach the last few words, the cost-of-failure is very high and an errant drop-out is never replaceable.
