Sandhill Crane

[Denny Knappen]

This Sandhill Crane pattern is by Steve Good. I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood for all the pieces. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. After a light sanding, dipped in diluted Shellac and another light sanding. Comments welcome.

That came out great. The lighting and background make it really stand out.

Thanks Bernd.  I have overhead LED light and use PhotoRoom for the black background.

Thanks Paul.  There are two patterns.  The second one maybe cut this week.

Looks like you've done your usual excellent work! 

Let me guess--cut with Vermont America blades from Joe's Hardware?

Thanks, Jim.  Is that where you buy your blades?

It looks great, Denny, and very good effect with Photoroom. I didn't know this AI tool.

Thanks.  PhotoRoom is a free app as long as you don't sign up for the extras.

 Nicely done. I just might cut this pattern too, some day, as you inspired me to give it a try. Looks great

Thanks Dick.  Actually, easy to cut.  Just take time in the glue up process.

Nice. I love it.  My neighborhood has a ton of these beauties right now.  I just love listening to them and watching them float by overhead.  I think I'll make one of these!

Thanks Jess.  I too love the sound they make.
