This was a bit of a challenge but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

My 3 grandkids all like Jack Skellington, from A Nightmare Before Christmas. We had a night of Christmas light looking, cookie making and such so I cut out ornaments of Jack and let them put them together. Awesome night!

This is a gift for Dianne Arnquist Knappen. The pattern is by Charles Hand and found in the book "Circular Scroll Saw Designs". I used 1/2" Hard Maple 4" square. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. I sell Pegas supplies online at: artcraftersonline.com. The finish is dipping in diluted Shellac and the one coat spray Lacquer Clear Satin. Comments welcome.

Oh yea, and 5 gingerbread trivets

Been busy in the last month - two chess sets, 3 charcuterie boards, and hope to finish cruising long-board.

Well I know it has been awhile since I have been to the Village. I have had some Health issues that has kept me away. I hope they are all behind me now, keeping my fingers crossed. I saw this Jeep on a visit to Harbor Freight, I bought it really enjoyed putting it together. That inspired me to look for more on the net, I came across several. The Wright Flyer was a Challenge, had to do a few modifications, the thickness of the wood was different I was using was thicker than the pattern, the Butterfly was no problem, I was Great being back in my shop.

This is my favorite Johnny pattern now. Thanks Charlie for the super awesome pattern.

That right there is what makes great Christmas memories!

Here is the framed image and a detail of the frame that my brother made. It is fun doing projects with my brother these days

I made two of these. One for the wife and one for sale. Thank you.

A client commissioned me to make this box for her son for Christmas. The family is from Scotland where they still have family. The son started college at OU. An uncle that lives in Scotland made the young man the OU from a tree that was in their yard. My client wanted me it incorporate it into the box. From there her son transferred to the Louisiana Warhawks where he was a was their football kicker. He has since graduated and my client was wanting it to put the memorabilia she had collected during his college career. Box measures 15 1/2 x 12 1/2 x 8. Wood used maple, Peruvian walnut, padauk, sapele, and tigerwood.

Thanks. A little delicate in a few places.

Lucky nephews and nieces. Beautiful.

Thanks Barb. Dianne already is using it.

I wouldn't put myself in an artist's shoes, but a craft's man, yep.

Made from old fence pickets

Picture - taken in July of Spider Wart in my wife's flower garden. Printed on photo paper with in jet printer Materials - 1/4" luan, 3M 77, clear spray finish Tools - Wen 21", Flying Dutchman #3 solar Pattern - My own (all free hand) Size - 10" × 6"

I recently had major issues with my Excalibur EX21. One of the symptoms was excessive breakage of #2 blades. I wanted to test to see if the blade breakage problem was fixed, and I wanted to practice/learn to cut thin stock. I had some 6mm reclaimed plywood I could use for this. Most of it was luan, plus a couple of pieces of mystery plywood. I knew going in that most of it would not pass QA inspection due to splintering, veneer peeling, and voids, but this did not matter since. Much to my surprise, some of the pieces were good. Less than 20% of the ornaments made it past my QA Inspection, and a few didn't pass once the photos were made. I cut 36 pieces. Yes, I know I can stack cut ornaments, but in my shop, I often need a single small part cut from thin material, and I do not want the extras to be kept from hanging around, taking up storage space. Besides, I need help finding the extras when I need them later. These are the ones I considered keepers. Not perfect but under normal room lighting I can't see the defects.

Great stuff. I really like the butterfly. Glad to hear you're back at it. Slow and easy wins the race.

Awesome and very beautiful Ron. I like a lot of Sue’s patterns. A very Merry Christmas to you and family.

Awesome Pete. A bit of time put into making that. They will be both proud when they receive those art pieces.

Like very much Kirk. I know a few people who would get a good laugh. Well done. A very Merry Christmas to you and family.

Thanks Paul.

I start with the inside and work out. Some delicate areas.

Nice picture, that is some fine cutting, fine as in 'well done". and fine as in "Fragile".

Absolutely beautiful!!! Great job!

Awesome! Is it your pattern?

That is the kind of project where the further you get the greater the risk. Well done!

That is an outstanding piece. Well done! Bruce

Beautiful

awesome job

Very beautiful Pete. Your father in law will be proud. A very Merry Christmas to you and family.

Hi all. Been away for awhile due to health issues but like a cat I’m back and back to scrolling as well. Retired last July at the age of 70. God the time goes by fast. I would imagine there’s a lot of new scrollers on line and hopefully there are many of my old friends still on as well. I’ll post some of my recent work soon. You all take care and have your selves a Very, Very Merry Christmas. Ron

Thanks Bob. It’s great to be back and communicating with some great friends. A very Merry Christmas to you and family.

I want to Thank all of you for your Wonderful Compliments, They do mean a Great deal. I have found a New Itch, so I will be scratching it for awhile with these 3D puzzles.

Thanks Pete. Dianne does like it.

You did a great job Denny as usual, it will be well received I am sure

Thanks RJ. Took a little patience.

Thanks Peter. A little difficult as it is only 4" round.

Once again, very nicely done Dave! You are truly the master of the inlaid box.

I started making ornaments and giving them away to family and friends 30 years ago. Probably total a couple thousand of them, at least. My oldest daughter has a 2nd tree with just my ornaments on it. I also made a lighted tree topper and a wooden train for it. Several friends to whom I've given many ornaments over the years, have also told me they also have a special tree filled with my ornaments. I am humbled and honored to have become part of the Christmas traditions of so many people.

Nice work... us kids like our toys,,,

Dave, you did a box before I think you did dovetails, did you find a tutorial or or something to follow the procedure of doing them, with the scroll saw, thx RJ

Beautiful box, Dave!

That is a super awesome job.

Another beautiful and unique box. Such craftsmanship. Marg

Dave, as usual that is superbly cut and finished. Ummmm - if I get one of those will it help my memory?........

Ornaments and portraits that I made for friends.

I think I would resaw the wood and then stack cut them.

Hello, I offer this last year to my coworker Elodie who is found of ... unicorn.
