Popular Post heppnerguy Posted March 9, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Again a rather simple piece but one I have made before and have always enjoyed it. This is a Sue Mey pattern. I have quite a few of her patterns and I really like her style. It was an easy cut but looks great on the wall. Starting the next request piece tomorrow.

I believe Pine is too soft a wood for trying to cut well on a scroll saw. Your blade choose was too large also. If I were going to cut something similar to what I posted above, I would use 1/4 to 3/8 inch maximum thickness and use the Pegas 3MG or even down to a 1 MG blade. Go slow and do not push your wood but rather let the blade to the cutting. I would put my saw speed about 1/3 speed for control. Not too slow but not very fast either. Let me know how things are going for you with the Maple and the #3 blade you are using Dick heppnerguy new2woodwrk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
