First - Scroll Saw Challenge

[bcdennis]

This was a big seller for the Christmas season and the orders have carried over into the New Year so it was the first project done for the year.   A Charles Dearing design.

Being from West Virginia, I am obviously a huge Mountaineer fan. So, a lot of things I cut have to do with that. Here are 2 new things that I just got done cutting. They still need poly, but finished otherwise.

Cut this one as my first of 2019. Hoping this year the fish create tight lines for me and everyone else who loves fishing.

Very nice! I’m still having trouble with smooth turns

My first project for 2019!

It's been a lot of fun seeing what everyone has done. 

This is my first project of the year. It is a wedding present for my nephew.  A Steve Goode pattern. Walnut with two coats of tung oil. 

A while back I started making clocks for all nieces and nephews who are getting married.

Technically, I think this may be my second for the New Year, but the other one was one that spread its self out over about 3 years! LOL Anyway, I had asked for help, information and tips on cutting thin lettering in this thread:  http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/forums/topic/32260-how-would-you-start-cutting-this-pattern/  and received lots for which I am thankful.  I finally cut it out and have added it to my gallery and to the sub-forum bragging rights found here:

Very nicely done!!!  Welcome to the Village!  (btw, I'm the Village's idiot, in case you're wondering who to watch out for )

Oh my gosh! Fantastic!

Playing card box by Steve Good. I tried my hand at epoxy inlay.   Glitter for the red, coffee grounds for the black. 

Not perfect, but not bad.

[Rockytime]

Looks great!

This Alaska Railroad train is my first 2019 project. I did this at the request of a neighbor who will be sending it to a young boy in Alaska who loves trains. The train is 3D as it is raised at the front by about one inch off the tunnel behind it.

I did this for my grandsons birthday tomorrow, he will be 16.  He loves American basketball and as you can see his favorite player is LeBron James.  The pattern is by Mahendra ( @multitom  )

Very new here but first project of the year was a scrap bin for food pieces. Moved in to a new house with a handful of housemates and it was the easiest way to make sure we didn't just use each other's tupperware for food pieces that have to go out to compost.

I started a master's degree program at the beginning of the year, which has cut into my scrolling time (on the plus side I can now tell you all about reading fluency) with the ridiculously cold temperatures in the mid west (warmed up to -18 today) I have gotten some extra days off of school/work and found some time to saw. I wanted something warm, so I googled beach silhouettes and found this. I painted the backer a goldish/bronze because my garage is too cold to do any staining. It is glued to the backer with elmer's glue all, it dries clear so any of the spots that you can see will become clear as it dries a bit more. It will get a coat of clear gloss when the temperature warms up, hopefully before June.

Have posted this one is Bragging Rights before I saw the new challenge.  Another Aniki Lykke Sorenson pattern.  Just love the way she captured the interest in the cat's eyes and had to cut it.

Here are a few of mine.

I made this shadow box for my daughter and her family.

Was going to do Worthington House "First Christmas" intarsia of Santa kneeling to baby Jesus to make sure I had it done by next year. As I cut out the pattern for each type wood, I noticed a lot more tricky cuts and small pieces that I didn't realize looking at the big picture. Considering I hadn't done any cutting since before the holidays and they were actually functional pieces like address sign for my son's house, I figured I better get back to some practice pieces for a while. I couldn't even remember what blades I was comfortable with. I found a packet of patterns that I bought a couple years ago and thought they'd be perfect. I tried the wolf from Jacob Fowler. Not really planning on mounting it or anything but it was good practice. 

 I do have a question for you vets out there as a point of reference. How long would this take you to cut this. I didn't think it was difficult since there aren't many narrow bridges- but there are a lot of sharp curves. It took me about 5&1/2 to 6 hours over 3 sessions to do it. I know a lot of you could probably knock this out pretty quick. I used Baltic birch and FD 2/0 blade. Critique is welcome.

Definitely worthy of at least a good backer!  Nice cut!  And  yeah, something like that would probably take me 6-8 hours to cut.
