baggetta Posted March 29, 2019 Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 This is a phrase used often in many families, I'm sure. It goes back to the days when the phone was just a simple contraption sitting on the end table. I put this into wood by using a blank I made from various woods:Torrified Maple, Red Oak, and Cherry. You can make good use of your scrap wood by saving all small cut off pieces and then gluing them together in strips to make some nice looking blanks for scroll saw cutting. This board came out at about 1/4" thick. Of course I salvaged the top piece of the blank to convert into the top of the base. I used a piece of plain ol' pine for the bottom. You can of course just use a single blank to cut this just as effectively, but don't be afraid to use your imagination when the opportunity presents itself. You can download the pattern if you'd like to cut it, at my site Real Wood Crafts. Just scroll down to the FREE PATTERNS page. spotsdad, Foxfold, amazingkevin and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
