Thanksgiving Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

Spooky season is over, and now we're in the mode of Thanksgiving.  I always thought of this time of year as a transition time, where we can slow down from our summer adventures and back-to-school routines.  Where we can reflect on friends, family, and all of the things we are thankful for.  So this month's scroll saw challenge is about Thanksgiving.  Different countries celebrate Thanksgiving (or a form of) at different times of the year.  But the sentiment is the same:  Counting our blessings and enjoying the company of our loved ones.  Post a project that means Thanksgiving to you.  Is it a centerpiece for the dinner table where you enjoy a carefully prepared meal for your friends and family?  Is it a scenic project or portrait of old farm equipment that is iconic of a bountiful harvest?  Maybe they're hand turkeys you made with the kids?  It is completely open to interpretation.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Here’s a Turkey puzzle made from 1” Cherry. Cut with a FD #3 UR blade. Soaked in a 50/50 mixture of boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits, then top coated with semi gloss lacquer.

This is light box that I made. I can change the panels for the different holidays. I want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

I had to think about this for a while.  One thing I am thankful for is our Chickens.  They keep up supplied with plenty of fresh eggs.  No more having to buy over priced eggs or running to the store because we were out of eggs.  So I cut a ornament to hang on the Christmas tree in honor of them.

Been a lot of things going on with the family/relationships, so haven't had much time to cut recently.  Or desire, if I'm honest with myself.  Funny how some things just suck the joy out of other things.

But I do try to get out and run the saw every now and then.

Must agree, I get a lot of peace of mind working in my shop.  Well until I screw something up.. which I just did.  I like your sign.
