Compass

Studing both in detail I find both very apealing and well designed.  I can see both being done by many.  Very hard to say I like one over the other.

I, personally, have only one very minor preference.  It would be to use the open  font for the N,E,S & W , as used in the one with the steering wheel, instead of the boxed font on the other.  For some unexplained reason, I find the boxed font is distracting to my eyes.

I know we don't typically place Scroll Saw work in a frame under glass, but either of these would look fantastic mounted on a contrasting ROUND backer and mounted under glass in a ROUND frame presenting the illusion of a real maritime compass.

Which one do you like more?

I already have made compass pattern, but  I like nautical projects, so I made one more. This time I combined compass with steering wheel.

I couldn't find the pattern for the one with the steering wheel on the Etsy site.

Agree, great idea with glass
