Popular Post OzarkSawdust Posted October 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 I saw several candle holders that Steve Good put up, and thought I would start with this one. Got it cut from 1/4" BB ply and finish put on. When it's dry in the morning I'll glue it up. I got a bench drill press and a couple of Forstner bits so I'll do some tea light holders also. heppnerguy, lawson56, Loskoppie and 9 others 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would try one first. It came out OK so I'll stack cut some more to sell. What finishes do you use, or which ones sell best? I did a clear spray lacquer on the fret and Minwax Early American on the backer. Edited October 15, 2019 by OzarkSawdust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 you are on fire. I love seeing your projects. It is very apparent that your scroll saw does not sit idle very long at a time.

I always use hardwoods. I used 1/4” maple for the overlay and Mahogany for the backer. To bring out the color and grain, I use a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits. Then when dry, I topcoat with Deft semi gloss spray lacquer. I have them priced at $24 each. My first show of the year is this Sunday, so I will see how they will sell.

That gives me a game plan instead of just guessing. This forum is full of fantastic people! I'm assuming the Mahogany is also 1/4" I am getting ready to order some hardwood as I'm wanting to make a couple of clocks. Does anyone ever use Oak? I never see it mentioned here.

I never see it mentioned here. Yes, the backer is 1/4”. And yes, I do use oak, red, white and other species I can find out here in the West. Some may try to discourage you from using oak because of the wild grain, but I never have a problem cutting oak. OzarkSawdust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
