First scroll project, first post.....and you choose "Firefly"?

 

SHINY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

 

Keep that hanging in a position of pride in your shop or room somewhere, and refer back to it often to see the progress you make as you go, you'll be amazed at how your skills advance!  For a starter, this is excellent!!!

What a great grandfather to share his love of the scroll saw and to gift you one of his saws. Treasure it and learn all you can from him and this site. Congratulations on finishing your first project. Remember, everyone has an opinion and different likes but it is your art you are crafting so create what speaks to you. Keep up your work and keep learning and don’t be afraid to try new things or new ideas.

I like to see the grain in my work, I never paint my work I like to use danish oil it brings out the grain

IKE

I have been seeing a lot of that. I'm very much transitioning the type of work I do. I will try the oil though because I do love the natural look. Do you have to seal it afterwards or does the oil do all that on its own?

Welcome aboard. Interesting first project (I enjoyed that series very much), did you make the pattern or get it from someone? The subject matter and how you choose to finish (paint, stain, oil, gloss, dull, etc.) any project is, unless you're working on commission, up to you.

Thank you. No, I usually make my own patterns, usually for burning. Remembering connections in scroll is a learning curve at the moment.
