Bats and Moon puzzle

[Denny Knappen]

Bats and Moon puzzle by Al Baggetta found in the current issue of SWWC. I used 3/4" Hard Maple 8" square. Cut on the Pegas scroll saw using Pegas #3 MGT blades. After sanding, stained the bats with Saman stain and dipped in diluted Shellac. Then another light sanding with a Mac Mop. This puzzle is a little difficult as several bats are very similar in size. Careful assembly required. Comments welcome.

Denny, that's excellent cutting of the puzzle, but I like your baskets better, RJ

Thanks Dick.  Those points on the bat wings were a bugger.

Thanks Ron.  Several bats are close in design and size.  If forced they will fit, but can damage the puzzle.

Thanks Ralph.  This is a very nice pattern and easy to cut except for the sharp turns!
