Popular Post Blaughn Posted April 10, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 (edited) Okay, I admit it. I am a string saver - or in this case a scrap saver. I have a box full of little scraps of walnut, cherry, curly maple, etc. They are just too nice to toss out and besides I just might need them some day. There. I confessed. I have taken a break from scrolling as I am building a jewelry chest for my granddaughter with plus a month of wintering in Florida. So it has been months since I scrolled and I am out of practice. So I thought about creating a pattern that would work with some of those scraps and resharpen my scrolling skills. Here's the result - cut in, as yet, unfinished cherry. This was before I added the oval seen in the attached pattern and added a bit of safety allowance for the dropouts in the word "Peace". This particular stock was 3.5"x 4.25" was and required me to use a Flying Dutchman Ultra Reverse 2/0 blade. That took some real getting used to. Man, those blades are thin! I will be finishing this in my new "home brew" Danish oil/ then Shellac sealer and finally, lacquer. (By the way this formula for Danish oil dries much faster than Watco. Odor free in a day-and-a- half and safe to finish coat in 3 days.) If you missed my post on that here's the website where I found the formula. https://vanduynwoodwork.com/2018/09/18/danish-oil-finish-top-3-reasons-to-mix-your-own/ MASTER single belzeir dove final.pdf Edited April 20, 2022 by Blaughn correct drop-out problem with original goldfish, crupiea, jr42 and 13 others 13 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dak0ta52 Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Nice job, Bruce. And you're not the lone ranger in saving small pieces of wood. I had a piece that I had saved, and it turned out to be the perfect size to cut a diagonal where I could double stack and still fit my pattern.

Blaughn Posted April 20, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) The original PDF in this post and the JPG I uploaded in the pattern section had a potential drop-out problem I discovered when cutting the pattern in a tree ornament size. The "P" in Peace survived the cut but just barely. In the PDF above and in the JPG in the pattern section I have added an additional bridge and removed a bit of the ornamental curl in the letter to make the cut a bit less "heart-stopping".
