24” x 12” x 1” live edge walnut board, pattern by Heartland Creations. Finished with clear satin polyurethane and polished with bees wax.

Just had to do some Christmasy at the last of the season. Something fun to make. And as an added bonus, if you don't use tape and apply the pattern directly to the wood, you get this neat picture to past to the shop door! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A JOYOUS CHRISTMAS.. BE SAFE LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PLACES ARE HAVE SNOW..

This is an Elephant puzzle made for Grandkids. I enjoy shaping puzzle pieces and then adding a suitable background.

These are two more of the puzzles I made for the Grandkids. The Giraffes were made from Quarter sawn Sycamore. I wish that I had shaped the Giraffes but the Grandkids love the puzzle. The T Rex puzzle was one of my favorites with the tree and volcanoes in the background. The Giraffes and T Rex are designs from Judy and Dave Peterson. I have made many of their puzzles for the Grandkids.

Made for my daughter.

Just came across these drawings of Gnomes. I am sure they would not take much to make in to patterns.

What are you using to blow off your saw? Compressed air from a good air compressor should blow off most dust. If you want to detail your saw, I recommend an old-fashioned saving brush and a vacuum with a small nozzle.

I made these rubber band guns for my Granddaughters for Christmas. It is payback from when my son was a kid!

Here is my attempt at an intarsia project. I have done segmentation but this was "technically" intarsia, even though it was cut from the same wood. The wood is black ash, which I received from a friend - it was in his burn bin!! The wood is about 3/4" thick. Used a Flying Dutchman #3 full reverse. Finished with the Beeswax "Butter" that I got as a hostess gift. It is not completely finished. I want to put another coat or two of the wax on and then I have to attach the backer, but I thought is was close enough to post here. There are certainly "happy accidents" but if you can't see them I won't tell you where they are!!! I love the grain of the wood and thought it lent itself well to the project. Comments & critiques are welcome.

Use a vacuum cleaner that has a fine filter, for small particulates, otherwise the vacuum cleaner itself is just blowing the dust into the air where (as NC Scroller said).

Vacuum before you blow to get the most off. Blowing just puts the dust back into the air to be filtered by your poor lungs and to settle back down where it came from.

Thanks Paul. Cutting the paws I tilted the table to the right 2 degrees and cut counter clock wise. For the nails table was tilted to the right 1 degree and again cut counter clock wise. Then glue all pieces in and round off. Doing this process will vary according to thickness of wood so it’s best to practice on a piece of scrap first. Thank you. PS I should mention when drilling a hole for blade I used a bit just big enough for a #3 blade. Drill the hole on the line tilted to the right same angle as your table.

I tried scrolling something different than my usual wood art. This one is free-standing (no backing). To be hung on a wall.

Tsk, tsk, tsk! Exposing your brother to an addiction! Well done and his first cut looks great! Bruce

Tell your brother congrats on his first piece. He did a great job. Also let him know once the scroll saw bug bites, it's hard to shake off the after effects!

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

Jesus is for my Wife. Geronimo is for my son. The Native American is for my Step Mother Inlaw. The recipe holder is for my mother inlaw The Double stack box is for my father inlaw The God box is for my ex wife. The big "Sure enough treasure box is for my Daughter-in-law to keep one of my granddaughters most precious things. The Fairy Princess wands and the rubber band guns are for my 2 Granddaughters. Months and months have been put into these gifts of love.

Hi folks, It's been a while since I was here,but still keeping myself busy on the scrollsaw, here are a few pieces I've done recently,

Very cute Paul. And you to have a very Joyful Christmas.

Thanks Kirk.

I love it! Super awesome!

Just a few more. The big R has a story behind it. 7 years ago before life got really crazy for a while I made all the family one of these ornaments each. That was the year that my son's first child was born so he got an ornament. Fast forward 7 years when his Mom was decorating the tree this year he wanted to know why his little brother didn't have an ornament. His dad explained that when Pap made them Rylan wasn't around. That was not acceptable so he called me wanting to know if I could fix Rylan an ornament. Any how Steve Goods pattern Poplar wood Olsen 2/0 crown tooth blades. The Snoopy is for my Grandson and Scooby Do Is for my Wife. Patterns are coloring pages from the internet that had bridges added with a White Out pen. Same setup Poplar and 2/0 Olsen. The dinosaurs are thanks to @don in brooklin on I may have misappropriated the patterns that were posted for someone else. Same wood and blade setup. The snowflake stars etc are from the ornament for Charity book Same setup. The humming bird is Sheila Landry patter. Same wood and blades. In case you haven't figured it out yet I really like cutting Poplar wood. Last but not least the final (I think) Initial ornaments. Cedar wood #5 Pegasus skip tooth blades. Everything is straight off the saw with no finish yet Several will be shipped to Arizona raw so that my Grandson and His mother can finish as they see fit. Commits or criticism welcome.

Thanks Charlie. Forwarded Paul an explanation. Thank you.

Nice work, Barb!

Thanks John. Any one would suit my wife, just have to add her name to it… Lol. Merry Christmas.

Very nice! Your accidents are better than my best! Bruce

Great job, Barb. I have yet to get the courage to try intarsia yet. Plus, about the only wood that I have that isn't pine is plywood. Finding various hardwoods in my rural area is difficult. I'm in the process of selling some musical equipment and with the fund from that I plan to upgrade my scroll saw and purchase a bandsaw capable of doing resawing. Then I can make some of my own solid wood. Lots of cedar on my land as well as various oaks and hickory. Waiting for it to dry will be the hardest part.

Sign & date it. Look back at it next year.

Congratulations on your first cut Barry. Well done. You have to keep your first item to reference as you progress. All the best.

Your granddaughters will have some memorable shoot outs. Well done Timothy.

Love it! I won't show it to my wife though...... December in Minneapolis - Snow, Cold and Gnomes!

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

He will be proud. Beautiful work. A very Merry Christmas to you and family.

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

I use a skip tooth blade. It clears the sawdust better.

Ornaments and portraits that I made for friends.

Beautiful!

I have tried a couple of 3D ornaments and they are past hard to make.

Great job on those. Making the grands gifts are my favorite. I don't have the painting patience that you have.

It takes more that a minute to make a handy clock like that.

You have been a very man, your workshop should be rename Santa’s workshop

This is what I am giving my DIL this year. I painted the background. The wood is maple, I/8” BBPly backer

I send my nieces & nephews an ornament every year. Got them in the mail yesterday.

Since we go to Florida in a few days, we had our Christmas gifts exchange last Saturday. I made this for my father-in-law.

Just a busy time of year. Doing some other woodworking making a Quarto game for a present.

I'll send you some heat, 40c today and only the 1st day of summer

Note the humidity. It is at 99% shortly after it gets dark and doesn't come down below 90% until afternoon. It's like that most of the year. I don't think it is cold until the water starts freezing.

I never really post anymore, but do my "like" thing nearly every day Since I am mostly making puzzles and the like these days, I figure everyone has pretty much seen them from others so need for me to bore anyone. I do post when I have something not puzzle related though but that has become very rare these days Anyway, still here, still doing our Saturday market and still working through puzzles, wall hangers and more Thanks for asking LOL

Hi 60's low 70's in So Cal. I actually turned my little heater on in my shop yesterday. I guess I'll have to put on long pants soon. Sad!
