Popular Post Fish Posted December 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I did this one from a piece of cherry my brother gave me. I'm gonna give it to him for Christmas. I showed him a little at Thanksgiving on my scroll saw, he's bought a used saw and gonna give it a try. If I counted right there is 120 cuts on the outside and 54 on the inside. Total time was probably 4 hours. I finished it with 321. It's about 3/8" thick and I cut it with a # 1 FD. Thanks for looking.

meflick Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I agree, beautiful work and I am sure your brother is going to love the return of the wood he gave you. Good to hear you are getting him interested in scrolling as well. Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgman Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 It’s beautiful Dan! Can you refresh us on your 321 finish? Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Posted December 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Thanks everyone. My brother is the one who told me about the 321. It is 3 parts mineral spirit, 2 parts polyurethane and one part Boiled linseed oil. It dries really fast and I found using satin finish wasn't what I wanted in the end so I switched to semi gloss and it comes out pretty nice. I have read articles on sanding the first coat in to the wood but I don't know if it would do anything for it. I've never tried it. I use a second coat right after the first one soaks in and wiping away the excess. I never make more than 3 oz. of mineral spirit, two oz. of poly and one oz. of BLO I'll never use it fast enough. I always use rubber gloves too, wiping it on with a cloth or using a brush. RabidAlien, jollyred, Dave Monk and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted December 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 I was looking on Pintrest for Tree of Life just killing time and found it and several other patterns I found in the past. I had to modify it a little but it was easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
