Free Standing Puzzles - Lamb and Playful Puppy

[Denny Knappen]

I cut these last Friday during a slow time at ArtCrafters using the Pegas Scroll Saw and Pegas MGT #9 blades.  The patterns are by Dave and Judy Peterson and found in there new book "Scroll Saw Baby Animals".  I used 3/4" Aspen for the Lamb and 3/4" Walnut for the Playful Puppy.  The finish is dipping in Boiled Linseed Oil.  Comments welcome.

Funny.  The owner can do whatever even play on the saw.

Those are nice.  I just got that book recently and have cut a couple puzzles.  Judy and Dave have put out great books and I have all of them.

A question....why are the edges of the calf puzzle pieces so dark?  It probably is just shadow.  I see you cut with a #9 blade and that create a larger kerf.  I typically cut their puzzles with a  FD Polar #5.  It creates a bit tighter puzzle.  I also give the pieces a quick sanding with a Mac Mop.

Thanks Larry.  The Lamb is cut from Aspen and dipped in BLO.  The BLO turned the edges dark and also yellowed the Aspen.  Not happy with the BLO.  I also cut my puzzles with FD Polar #5.  Now that we are distributors for Pegas, I wanted to give the Pegas MGT a try.  It is strange, but the size of the Polar #5 is almost the same as the MGT #9.  Can't go by blade numbers.  I finish almost all my pieces with the Mac Mop.  Great minds think alike.
