The pattern is by Jacob Fowler and found in the book "Woodworker's Pattern Book".  The wood is Cherry 3/8" x 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" and backed with Baltic Birch plywood 3/8" x 8" x 8" stained black.  It was cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades.  The finish is one dip in diluted Shellac and three coats Minwax spray Lacquer Clear Satin.  Comments welcome.

That came out great Denny. The stained backer goes with the cherry nice.

Thanks Dave.  The black really sets off the Cherry.

Very Nice cutting of a nice pattern Denny.
You and some others may slap their foreheads at this question, but what is the purpose of dipping the finish in thin shellac? unless it is orange shellac and you want the colour, I must be missing something.

Why do you spray Lacquer over the shellac?

Good question.  To each his own way of finishing.  It seems that the finish is harder with a little more shine.

Hi John.  I find that dipping gets the sanding sealer in all the frets, especially the tiny ones.

Hi Sam.  I buy Scroll Saw ready wood.  I know it is more expensive, but I don’t have a bandsaw.
