This is a Sue May pattern. I enlarged it to about 6 in wide. Its cut from 2.5 mm bamboo. I stack cut two pieces and in the center I but a piece of Transparency Film and then colored it in with Amos Glass Deco. It's a stained glass effect that you make yourself. Basically it's a kids thing but it works great on Christmas decorations. You can get both the transparency film and the Amos Glass Deco from ebay. Marg

Special orders again.

My best friend’s mother passed away recently so I combined their first names in the piece to honor their special relationship. Walnut and alder.

Same pattern , different woods. One, Pine, maple, and bois d'arc and one cedar, basswood, and bois d'arc. Boxes measure 6"x8"x3" 3/8" thick wood.

My aunt asked me to make this for my cousin's recent college graduation. After a made my own pattern I realized it would've been a lot easier to buy a quilter's pattern. Cut it all free hand, so if you look really closely, you'll likely find a few spots where it doesn't fit as well as I wanted it to. 8 different woods used. Maple and Walnut for the center main triangles, Cherry/Cedar and Hickory/Russian Olive for the smaller triangle points, Aspen for the outer edges, and Purple heart for the boarder.

Got these done for some folks so feel great about it, sort of the last of the items people asked for. Also my Christmas tree for the shop for the work free days. Got a few of the Southern Calif. seasonal brews to enjoy except for the Nankasi which is in Eugen OR. I like there stuff a lot. Jim penquin

I cut the compound ornament from Alder and the miniature Reindeer from Maple. The compound cut reindeer is about 1/2" tall and held inside the ornament with a small spot of epoxy glue.

Hi all, Christmas is all about thankfulness, and I am a regular on here every day, even if it's just to see what is new. Everyone who posts here is doing something thankful to help all us others out. Maybe I don't use everything I find, but often have tried various things. I have been scrolling for over 30 years and there is always something new or new tip that pops up on the site. Merry Christmas to all of you here on the forums from nrscroller (Bill ) I am a great fan of Zach Sobiech who is paralized from sports and have read the book his mom wrote and my favorite saying is from him "USE WHAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER PERSON HAPPY AND JOY WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU">

An order came in to celebrate her husbands military service ,she'll fill the box with foam .She wanted it a week from now ,But i knocked it out today.And Sheila Landres box finally got finished!Now to sand and assemble.And the poplar serving tray i forgot to take a picture of a while back.

About a month ago my daughter came to me and said she had a college project......she had to pick something new, research the history of it, & actually do it.....she chose scroll sawing!! She waited til last minute to do it, her project was due today.....but after 5 hrs in the shop yesterday here is what she did......the smaller ones were practice.......btw her college professor's name is a "Smith" also.....brownie points lol.....all 1/2" sanded plywood.....spray painted.....wire hanger on all 4.....I think she did awesome!! Proud Dad!!

My grandson (6) wanted a gift for his teacher. So he drew an apple and a reindeer. I applied his pics to a piece of cherry and cut them out. He then applied walnut oil with a paper towel. He was a very happy camper!

I often paint on just the wood surface, but I also will put a thin coat of a clear finish on before I paint. If you put a coat of finish (or sanding sealer) the first coat of paint is smoother in texture and color. I really like using a nylon paint brush. like this https://www.amazon.com/Loew-Cornell-4136-White-Nylon/dp/B004185H28/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1513215482&sr=8-3&keywords=nylon+paint+brush They range in prices but I haven't seen the need to get real expensive brushes. I learned a ton about painting from Sheila Landry. She has great painting instructions for her scrolling projects. Some are in the magazines or can be found on her site. http://www.tolepaintingdesigns.com There is a free pattern that shows the quality of her instructions. I would personally not to the glitter part, but it may be helpful to read through.

That is great time spent. I did the same with my Grandson when he stayed with us for a week this summer.

This was tricky as the cupids were cut in 1/34" wood then glued in place and cut around them again .not finished yet she wants a gold glitter on top the shiny gold ,red hearts and black letters .will post again when finished also my latest teak box needs 1 more side cut,So many and can't focus on one project.

My boy is working for a local Ace Hardware. He asked if I'd make some ornaments he could give the employees. This seems fitting. I did the same thing when my wife worked there about 8 years ago.

What is a sand flee?

Very clean cutting. Nice Job!

Great job.

nice job

Super nice job!

What ever I put on here is to share for everyone for free otherwise I wouldn't put it on and so I would expect it to work the other way. Just my opinion mind you. Roly

Stupendous work. Roly

I love the cedar one, it makes the dragonfly really standout. Great work Jim. Marg

Dan We find what our neighbors are looking we supply seems to be what the village is all about. Loving it

E#ve3rybody cannot do what someone else can do.A high rise outside painter,A antenna installer on the empire state building,Jim is one of the few that has gone beyond mastering inlay.!

That is a work of art.

Very nice Jim.

Both the kids and the teacher got a gift.

Russel, you should send a copy of your patterns to someone you trust. That said, here is hoping you will be knocking out patterns many years from now. -------Randy

Wife won’t teach you?

When i use acrylic's i use sparingly,I put a tad in a bottle cap,stir with the brush and go to town painting.

That is so pretty!

Great find Wayne.

When I'm dead, and this site is no longer in existence, feel free to give my patterns to anyone you want. I hope many years from now, people will still be cutting and enjoying my patterns. Just don't download all the free ones and put your name on them, or sell them on your site. I saw a blog where a woman cut my free bowl/basket pattern, she put the link to this site so others could come and get the free pattern. If this site was no longer here, i would hope she would post the pattern for others to use. I made it and posted it as a free pattern so everyone could cut and use it for free. If this site is gone, feel free to give it to others. Russell

No Marge, they get to take My work home with them.

Very neat idea. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW

I love your work, Jim!

That is very fine! Beautiful boxes.

Very nice

I hate to miss a day here because of the wealth of info that comes in daily

I made the bowl for our friend Betty because she saw the one my wife has and loved it. I made the Army Veteran for our cousin David. David is retired Army. I made the Air Force Veteran for our cousin Mario. Mario is retired Air Force. Not scrollsaw related but I made the big basket for my wife.

Advent decoration for my daughter.

You just made my efforts worth while ,to use my skills to make others happy for 10 years!

Thanks Bill. Merry Christmas to you and yours and everybody here. I have learned a lot here.

Merry christmas Bill we just never stop learning and they are always new ideas to try out on here. Thanks to Travis and the gang for allowing us to portray them. Roly
