bob a Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hi, new to scrollsawing, but have done woodworking. My daughter is getting married,and would like a wedding tree. I believe it's a tree cut like a jigsaw with guests signing individual pieces. If you could recommend a pattern, type of wood,solid or ply,any comments or help would be appreciated. Thanks Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I don't thing I've seen a tree, but I've seen some people use a wedding photograph and cut it up into a jigsaw puzzle. Guests would sign the pieces just like you mentioned. Might want to do a couple puzzles, depending on the number of guests. I'd mount it to baltic birch plywood (poplar plywood is also common with puzzles). I'd just use some spray adhesive that is designed for photos and artwork and follow the instructions for a permanent bond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artmill Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Check the scrollsaw workshop, I believe he has a jigsaw puzzle pattern that is available for purchase. Good luck. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirithorse Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 On a google search this is the only Puzzle type wedding tree I found. http://www.etsy.com/listing/84681655/we ... pe=gallery Several other wedding tree guest books were simply a tree shape with lots of oval shapes representing leaves on which the guests put their names on the leaves. (all the links were excessively long but you can search Wedding Tree Guest Book for examples). One other alternative I found has real potted branches and the guests are given small slips of paper or cards to write their special wishes on such as this example http://www.mydiyweddingday.com/2009/04/ ... -tree.html God Bless!

Beeber Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Not sure if they have what you are searching for but check with "the wooden teddy bear. com" they have an extensive selection of different patterns and are excellent to work with. I did a Wedding Plaque" for my niece and it turned out excellent. I used Red Oak that I purchased from Lowes or Home depot, not 100% sure which one. Used this hard wood to eliminate warping.

amazingkevin Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Oh also i've had better luck with the picture not peelin off the corners by clear coating the picture and let dry before mounting.lt helps keep the photo clean while your working with it to in case glue gets on it it will clean easy with mineral spirits as long as it's not water soluable glue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
