Lighthouses, apples and bird houses.

[barb.j.enders]

Here are two lighthouses.   Cut from cedar with a #5 ultra reverse blade.  Thanks to @don in brooklin onfor help on the patterns.

Apples also cut from the cedar.

Birdhouses were cut from unknown wood, but probably spruce. It was a piece of post/rail material.

Finish is one coat of Garnet Shellac.

Where did you get the light house patterns?

Don't know if it were these exact lighthouses, but Sue Mey had some in the scroll saw magazine a couple of years ago. 

I did one for my aunt who loves lighthouses.

The lighthouse patterns are by Sue Mey.  Issue # 87 of the SSWC or from her website https://scrollsawartist.com/.

Nice compound cutting.  If you need another lighthouse, here is the plans for one I have been going to try,  I would like to figure how to put a little LED light in it.  Make a cool night light.

Thanks for the link.  I actually have the Nautical chess set.  Started making that years ago.  Never did get it finished.  I also purchased a larger lantern pattern from him.

I have made four of the Nutcrackers in various sizes.  The best part is cutting the hair.  You will swear nothing good is going to come of it with all the tiny pieces that fall out as you cut. But when you unpack it, there it is.
