Illinois State Fair Strikes Again

[harpolemond]

These past four years there have been Three Illinois state fairs.  unfortunately last year was cancelled because of Covid.

I generally choose a very detailed fretwork piece to enter into the IL state fairs woodworking scroll saw devision.

I have finished 1st place in that woodworking devision for the last three years running. This year I decided on another clock.

I will include it in this post as a jpeg.

     I have seen several places in this forum and other places people wanting to know what kind of blades they use.

It is a personal preference for us all, however the following has helped me win first place three years running.

Sharktooth #1 and 2

Various Pegas MGT or modified geometry for the line cuts and extreem cutouts

Superior puzzle blades by Flying Dutchman for various wider cut outs

This is all I use and since it has served me well, just thought some of you might like to know

I am some what prejudice, Beautiful clock.   You did a great job with it.

Very nicely done. This is an interesting pattern for sure. I cut this one  several years ago but since I had no use for another clock, it choose to do it as a plaque instead. Congratulations on the fair winnings. Nice recognition.
