Handmade Gifts Scroll Saw Challenge 2022

[Travis]

This is my favorite challenge.  We basically do this every year, but I love to see what people are making for others this Holiday season.  There is so much love and care put into these special projects.  So this month's challenge is Handmade Gifts.  What handcrafted gift are you putting under that tree this year?  Post a picture of what you made in your shop and who it's for.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Since we go to Florida in a few days, we had our Christmas gifts exchange last Saturday. I made this for my father-in-law.

I send my nieces & nephews an ornament every year. Got them in the mail yesterday.

[Roberta Moreton]

This is what I am giving my DIL this year. I painted the background.  The wood is maple, I/8” BBPly backer  

 

[Jim McDonald]

I made 18 of the small Nativities and about the same number of larger ones. On the larger, about half were natural and the others were painted flat white.

The small ones have a hook for hanging and given to relatives as my annual handmade ornament. Some of the larger ones were used as table decor at a church luncheon and then became door prizes along with some angels.

All patterns by Steve Good. 1/8" and 1/4" plywood.

Been one of those years.  Best I can muster is this piece, going to a co-worker who I know will get a kick out of it.

Had to do a double take

CLOCKS ARE ALWAYS A GREAT GIFT............

These are two of Steve Good's patterns I cut for my grandchildren (trucks) and son and daughter (cross). I actually cut one other truck for another grandson but he is a little older and I plan to stain his rather than color. The colors or the other three grandchildren's favorite colors. I still have to glue and spray a finish. I plan on using Polyacrylic.

I made all of our family Initial Ornaments for Christmas this year. All have been delivered except 4. I have been informed that this needs to become a yearly tradition. I made a total of 30 of these. Cedar wood Minwax natural stain and 4 coats of rattle can lacquer.

Great job on those. Making the grands gifts are my favorite. I don't have the painting patience that you have.

I have tried a couple of 3D ornaments and they are past hard to make.

Ornaments and portraits that I made for friends.

We did a gift exchange at work for about 20 of us.  This was a virtual meeting on computers.  The concept was to order from Amazon and keep it under $35.  

But I am a non-conformist. I said I would make something. 

The company logo is a Big R, and our brand is a light bulb "iwatt" is the brand. Notice the "iw" as the filiament in the bulb.   We design integrated circuits (chips). I obtained some silicon wafers and cut a small circle that fits inside the light bulb. 

Inliad "yellow heart" into "purple heart".  I still need to put a finish on it.
