Popular Post FrankEV Posted November 19, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) I obtained the SVG pattern from Following Daisies/Etsy and modified it to add the oval and sized it to fit inside an 8X10 panel. Although it looked like it would work, this pattern IS NOT intended to be completed on a scroll saw as it is listed for Cricut and Sihouette. I managed to cut it, but the details of the flowers and the hummingbirds wings were very delicate tapering to very fine points and very difficult to cut as the wood lost all rigidity as the cuts were completed. The cut panel is 5/32” Walnut solid core ply that I further stained with Minwax Walnut stain to enhance the contrast. The cut panel was affixed to a 1/8” BB Ply that was enhanced with a coat of Minwax Natural Stain and the panel finished with multiple coats of Clear High Gloss spray Lacquer. I attempted to use Pegas #2/0 spiral blade with poor results so after only a few cuts I switched to Pegas #1/0 MGT R which produced much better results. The panel is loose fit into a simple Pine Frame the I made and stained with the same Minwax Walnut stain and then protected with Clear Gloss spray Polyurethane. I am totally unhappy with the finish. The stain may not have been thoroughly dry when I applied the poly and it did not lay down flat and smooth. I intend to replace the Frame and only used it for the picture. I’m attaching a PDF of my completed pattern as a challenge to anyone who might like to attempt cutting it. If you do, please show it to us and add your thoughts. BTW I was making this for my Lady who loves Hummingbirds. Already have two others hanging and wanted to supprise her with this one.

heppnerguy Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 I downloaded the pattern and hope to give it a go before too long. Nicely done and thanks for the tips. I saw some small changes I will make when I cut it too. Dick heppnerguy amazingkevin and FrankEV 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
