Popular Post Frank Pellow Posted September 29, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Terry is turning 80 in early October (and I'm only 1.5 years behind him). Terry and his wife Peggy are both in good health and taking full advantage of life. I searched for quite a while for something to make for Terry and finally hit upon a Sue Mey pattern. I reduced the pattern to 75% size (which made for some very intricate cutting) and made a few changes. I cut both the foreground and background out of 3mm thick Baltic Birch plywood. He is a photo taken when the cutting saw about half completed: Here, the detailed cutting has been completed, the background has been stained green, then attached to the foreground with double sided tape, and I am cutting the perimeter of both: And here is the completed "card": The whole project took about six and a half hours of work. All the cutting was done using #1 Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse Tooth blades. I mailed the card to Terry this afternoon.

Tomanydogs Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 What a very nice card. I’ve never seen a scrolled card before. What was the size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the size? Thanks. I often send folks scroll-sawn (sort of) cards. In fact a couple of folks at our local post office are interested in seeing them and ask me about when I am going to mail another one. The card is 24cm at its highest point and 22cm at its widest point. The original pattern was quite a bit bigger.

Jim McDonald Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Nice sentiment. I just finished some Steve Good's ornaments in 1/4" (6mm) poplar with #1 FDUR and my problem was fish hooking on the bottom of the blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) I'm catching up with him also...78 and getting older every day. That is a beautiful job on that BD card. He will really love it, I'm sure. Unfortunately we here on this side of the pond are still on the feet and Inch system and I could not visualize 24cm X 22CM, so I had to use my converter software to get 9 1/2IN x 8 3/4in.

Hey if the pond is the Atlantic, I am on the same side of it as you are. If the pond is the Great Lakes then we are on different sides. Thanks for the conversion. Knowing that some USA citizens still prefer the antiquated British Imperial system, I should have given those numbers too.
