Alex Fox Basket C-78

[Denny Knappen]

An Alex Fox basket #C78. I used 1/4” Baltic Birch plywood 10” square. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. After sanding with a Mac Mop, two coats spray Lacquer Clear Gloss with a light sanding between coats. Comments welcome.

Very well done, Denny.   I have only done one of his bowls, although I think I have most his bowl patterns.  I wonder what happens to all these hundreds of patterns when I go to the big scrollsaw in the sky...Yes, I hope I go to the one in the sky.  Seeing all the evil around me now days, I find myself thinking I may have a slim chance of getting there.

Thanks Paul.  This is the last of his patterns completed.  I am thinking of making the baskets less high with a wider base.

Thanks Alex.  I think there are 15 patterns and I made them all.

You did a great job on that Denny. I would think a number 1 Blade would be hard to control. I have some number one's. I might have to give them a try.

Thanks Ralph.  Actually, for me the #1R MGT is easy to control.  My go to blade is still the #3R MGT blade.

Well, now you've done it!  Now, I'm gonna have to get one of those patterns.
Simply beautiful.

Thanks.  I have another one ready to cut, but not as deep.
