Popular Post Sycamore67 Posted December 22, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 It has been awhile since I have done much scroll saw work. I needed to practice a bit before making the ornaments. The pattern was from the Scroll Saw magazine. I made some out of 1-1/4" Cherry, Maple and Walnut. I cut them with either the FD Polar #5 or The PS Woods Super Sharps #5. Both of them are skip tooth blades and work well in thicker wood. The Super Sharps are more expensive but cut easier. They were finished with eagle can lacquer. I thought they were a bit plain so cut some 5/8" tall reindeer, stars or Christmas Trees. The small reindeer were cut from 1/8" Maple with a #3 FD Polar and a 3X magnifier lens. I made about 10 ornaments and gave most away to friends.

I wouldn't buy them at that price. I have tried them but wasn't impressed. I have a bunch of them that came with the first used EX that I bought. When yhey are gone, unless I change my opinion of them, I won't be buying more. Dave Monk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sycamore67 Posted December 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 To each their own..... I think the Super Sharps work great on compound cuts. The ornaments were from 1-1/4" Maple, Cherry and Walnut. They cut well with no burning. Since I only made a few ornaments, I could care less the cost.

John B Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 I like those. The addition of the stars and deer really make them. Dave Monk and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
