Popular Post Joe W. Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Family birthdays coming up and what to do? I know - look over scroll saw patterns and find something the ladies will like. Decided on this one and the sister-in-law liked it, so I made this one for our daughter. And learned another something in the doing - to get good joints, cut outside the lines and not on the line (at least it worked for me). The tissue holder has enough space inside to insert a colored backing of your choice for the cutouts to showoff the cutouts. 1/4 inch wood, so next time I'll try my luck at stack cutting 2 or 3. Still have to touch this one up and as usual can't decide on the finish. Luckily, I have wife who is full of those kinds of ideas.

FrankEV Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Very well done. A nice bright color under the cuts will make it outstanding. Not sure what the wood you used is, but it looks nice, so a natural stain to enhance the grain might be the way to go with a couple coats of Wipe-on Poly. For everyday use it needs a good protective coating that would be easily cleaned. Joe W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Well done, Joe, I do agree that a colored backer would have helped this project really pop but, that is just my opinion. I like it as is and you did a remarkable job. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse Joe W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have the next scroll sawing year of my life coming from his website. But seriously, it's a good starting point for me. I think it will be a loooong time before I'm able come close to producing some of the beautiful works I've seen by the people who are on this forum. (is there an emoji for envy?)
