Popular Post Roberta Moreton Posted February 7, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have been working on compound cuts. I just wanted to get better and more comfortable with them. This is my latest one. The clock was cut from walnut. The shell and snail is cut from red cedar, the swan from popular. The bottom is weighted with lead. new2woodwrk, young ned, TexasDIY and 11 others 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 After seeing this I am beginning to think I will NEVER run out of things to do with my scroll saw. Wow! Excellent work! dgman and meflick 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Very, very nice! Is the clock compound cut also or just the top of the clock? Is the clock pattern possibly in one of the old scrollers mags like Creative Woodworks and Crafts or Scrollsaw Woodworking and Crafts? Thanks for sharing and God Bless!

Roberta Moreton Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have a hard time with compound cutting so I have been practicing. I bought a book. Compound Scroll Saw Creations by Diana Thompson. Fox Chapel Publishing. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roberta Moreton Posted February 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Here is another piece from that book. Burning on the wing, one part is very thin. I am still practicing. Learning to go slow, let the blade do the work, etc. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirithorse This pattern called for the 1 1/2” board be split, I had two 3/4” pieces. The inside cuts on the top piece was cut then glued to the back half, then the side pattern placed on ( there were registration marks) and the compound cutting completed. amazingkevin and spirithorse 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
