Just finished this bowl, a little bit different I glue 2 pieces of 1/2” and one piece of1/4” together and then cut the bowl at 17 degree. Some sanding/shaping required but I am pleased with the result.

Made this for a friend of mine. Growing up in Alabama everybody I knew pronounced the name of the bird, Killdeer, as Kill-dee. Kill-deer is the correct pronunciation but I prefer Kill-dee. My friend's dad passed away several years ago. His nickname was "Killdee."

Two butterfly with names, fully finished. 3/8 elm, 5" x 16", FD #1 polar used throughout, dark walnut stain on the letters, 2 coats BLO 50/50 finish. I need to go darker on the letters for more contrast, I'll probably use ebony stain next.

Pattern by Heatland Creations, size 25” x 12” x 1” Walnut live edge finished with clear satin polyurethane and polished with bees wax. Second cutting of this pattern.

Hi, my name is Iggy and I'm new here... OK, not new, but been away a while and it's great to see familiar names and some new ones. Long story short, my wife had serious health issues the past 18 months, all is well now and she's back to 100%. And 2 months ago we moved (to be closer to family) and after 4 months of not cutting, I got my shop setup enough to start doing some scrolling. In years past I've done 20-25 craft events per year, this coming year I plan on only doing about 6 of my biggest and best events. We'll see what 2024 holds as I learn about local events here in the new home town. (Moved from Carolina Beach, NC to Winston-Salem, NC) One thing I'm excited about is a Big Foot Festival I'll be doing in May. Should be hilarious and fun. I plan on doing 50+ puzzles, 50+ wall racks, 10+ jumbo racks, a couple of desk clocks, maybe a couple sets of bookends... See what people like this first year and be better prepared for next year. My first cuttings this past weekend after 4 months of no cutting in the first photo... Big Foot and Sasquatch wall racks. And photos of finished products I've done before and will do more of for the festival.

Sorry, it’s funny if you know the movie.

Been thinking about this pattern for some time, this challenge was the push for me to do it. I'm not sure if the paint job is pure genius or total fail, when I was trying to spray the inside edges the green got kinda thick in spots. Total accident as to how it came out. Anyhow, the reason for the Dragon is my daughter is attending Digipen University in Washington. It's a digital media school mostly centered around the gaming industry. Their mascot is a Dragon. And a shout to Steve. Many thanks for all you do in creating patterns for us to cut.

If I think that I am going to make more than one of a thing; I try to make templates instead of just paper patterns. As I always use clear tape over my cutting anyway, it works well, I draw around my template with a finer point permanent markers on the tape and then another layer of tape over the top. The pictures are of my latest template for a bear cub. I did NOT print it; picture was taken from the computer monitor. I found a silhouette that I liked, did my own version of it some modifications all over it. I then taped it to the wood scrap (3/4-Oak) with a layer of Masonite over the oak. After the cutting I have a cub and a template. Sorry, I do not know the blade # used. Masonite is very hard on blades, even with the tape and I also use candle stubs on the running blades as extra lubricant. That trtick I learned from the book for my first scrollsaw, bought in 1953! I also use thin plastic and even light plywood for the templates, basically anything that will last and is thin. I even have a few sheet metal ones made this way. To make the metal ones though, I sandwich the metal between 2 pieces of the wood I am using. It cuts slower and needs more wax than the wood or plastic ones do as you cut. Last picture is of the cub and the template. I hope this helps someone.

One more. This is a Steve Good Nativity scene published several years ago. The wood is 1/2" mesquite.

This is a modified Steve Good pattern. I alternated layers of 1/4" Maple and Walnut. We use this bowl to hold the TV remotes in our den.

Work in progress on Steve Good Valentine's Day pattern. I still need to paint them. The wood is 1/2" Ambrosia Maple left over from a previous project. As others have said, I have cut many of his patterns and they are a big part of what got me addicted to this marvelous hobby.

Clock size is 9” x 16” x ¼” Maple done with acrylics and attached to a 13” x 20” oak backer and spruce frame. Ebony accent’s on corners. Pattern is by Dirk Boelman acquired from the 97 Creative Woodworks and Crafts magazine. This is second time cutting this pattern. First one was done in Cedar with natural finish and no backing.

Awesome Charlie!

I credit Steve for my learning the basics of scrolling and for helping hundreds of others to do the same. I’ve lost count of the many patterns that I have cut of his, but here are a few.

terrific job

I've always referred to them as Killdeer also. We have bunches around my property during the summer. They'll build their nests in the darndest places. Fortunately they are low to the ground and the mower will go over them without damaging the nest. Great picture and cutting, by the way. Looks like you're making good use of that rough-cut wood. Makes for nice pieces.

What a pretty bird, no matter what it's called. Your friend will love it. Marg

That will be a treasured tribute to his dad. Well done!! Bruce

Looks great, as always. Marg

Looking good. Look forward to seeing it completed. Glad you decided to go with the maple, I think it’s a good choice with the walnut. They complement each other and I feel they are both high quality wood choices. Make sure you are keeping patterns and copious notes.

Thanks Bob

Already looking good. I think you are building a masterpiece.

I love looking through everyone's pictures. There are so many great patterns to cut - just not enough time.

Update I received the new clamps last week and the blade breakage is way down. This should make scrolling even more fun.

Layered Ornament Candles Holly

This it the most recent one of his I have cut.

Steve's Scroll saw Workshop was the first place I came across when I became interested in scrolling as a hobby. I have made quite a few of Steve's patterns and as Jim McDonald says above have learned much from him. These 2 patterns were my first attempts at using more than 1 layer of wood and although I still have much to learn, I was quite happy with the results.

99% of everything I've cut thus far has been Steve Good patterns. Thank you Steve Good!

We're more of a "hang around the breakfast bar/counter and eat" than a formal "sit at the table" kinda family (mostly cuz the table is reclaimed 150-yr old barn wood table that my wife bought: its uneven and leans alarmingly, but is still rather sturdy). So no fancy centerpieces to put folks into any festive holiday moods or inspire Martha Stewart, but I do have the occasional trivet that get used during the two times a year we use that table.
