Popular Post Eugene Downes Posted June 18, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 I have always loved going to stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army where I got into the habit of buying old wooden plates. When designs are cut in them they hang flat on the wall and make great Plaques. They were easy to cut because of the raised edge you can hold onto. bobscroll, jollyred, meflick and 11 others 11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTTHECLOCKMAN Posted June 19, 2019 Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Now I do not remember who it was and am sure someone will but there was a pattern designer that made patterns focused around wooden plates and she even sold the plates. OK name that designer. I remember when they were all the rage. Amazing the fads we go through. Very nice work and great use of material. I know Berry Basket use to do these too. But here are some patterns for wooden plates. https://woodenteddybear.com/collections/decorative-plates Edited June 19, 2019 by JTTHECLOCKMAN Eugene Downes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I enjoy making my own patterns. In the pictures below I am setting on the Running Board of my old 1930 AA 1974. The pattern and cut out I did December of last year. new2woodwrk, meflick, OCtoolguy and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eugene Downes Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 By the way, not all my work is done on the scroll saw! My Business Card shows a Williams, Oregon address but was originally made in Talent, Oregon 1985. The Dragon (on the card) was one of the first items I cut with my new Excalibur EX-19VS Scroll Saw using 1 inch Oak.
