This is my latest Intarsia piece. Pattern found in the issue # 54 of Scrollsaw Woodworking & Crafts magazine, designer Gary MacKay. Woods used Tigerwood, Maple, Canarywood, Quilted Maple, Sapelle. One generous coat of shellac. Used many #5 MG blades.

The finished Bobcat pattern by Gayle at Scroll Saw Cafe forum. I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood 11" x 14". Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #0 Spiral blades. After sanding with a Sand Flee, dipped in diluted Shellac and three coats of spray Lacquer with sanding between coats. Framed at ArtCrafters. Comments welcome.

Just getting back into the shop after a lengtly absence. We were away on a long cruise. Then I needed to complete two significant yard projects. On top of all that I have been suffering with a stomach bug for over three weeks. However, when possible I have been doing some cutting on a multi-part project, but I had to interrupt it to do this Abstract Art piece that I found on-line as a free .SVG download. I still needed to do a little tweeking to make it work as a 12’ x 18” Scroll Saw pattern. Cutting the 5/32” solid core ply was very easy using a Pegas #1 Mgt R blade. All coloring was done with an Air Brush using Artist Acrylic Air Brush Paints. Due to the many different colors the painting and finishing time was long. Dry time…ugh! Typical 1/4" ply backer. The frame is a 3/4” wide rail Gallery Style Floating Frame, painted Silver. There are a lot of shadows in the photo and the color of the frame is washed out. It looks a lot better when hanging on a wall and viewed from the normal four feet away. I’ll post the pattern in Pattern Exchange for anyone who would like it.

A few new projects. The animal pics are going to be donated to The Farmer's House, a local non-profit which helps prepare mentally challenged individuals for integration into the community.

This is a Sue Mey pattern a bought awhile ago, several people like it before so i stack cut 4 more, painted with mica powder, then put alcohol ink colored epoxy resin in the cuts I made

Here's my take on the "man in the maize", but as coasters. These are for High School friends.

Is this the type of Hawk I should be looking for? This is quit a ways from me, But looks like a newer Hawk https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/942597514024435/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Aaa0e5137-bfbd-4359-b747-ba9ab69bd5ef

nice cat, good job

Frank, that is one pretty darn cool cat! great creativity!

Sorry Paul for the late response. I payed $350 I think for mine. But she lived on the Washington Coast which most folks would find quite a drive to get there. I was going to Seattle anyway and got lucky that it was a nice day in December. I really do like the saw it seems to cut through thicker wood better than my EX 21. I still like the EX too though.

Very nice work. Thanks for sharing!

I have the same problem, wood choices that are different, takes me way too long to settle on "my" choices. Looks great! Excellent choices in wood!

Cut this one for my son who is as big a fan as I am. The text is a line from his song "Souvenirs" which is definitely worth a listen. Cut in 1/2" alder.

Good job Charlie, RJ

Thanks Ray!

well done

Now that's different, I like it.

Boy Kris, you sure like those intricate pieces. Those are great. Do you stack cut any of those.

fantastic work

nice

My wife's niece from Germany comes to visit every spring in conjunction with a Pharma convention in Chicago. She is a private pilot and also a Lufthansa Nut! I made a JU-52 plaque for her a few years ago and decided to try something bigger. DO-X Was the largest and heaviest aircraft of the time in 1929 and could hold over 100 passengers and did fly from Europe to NY. The cabin was very luxurious to include smoking rooms, dinning room and sleep cabins. It had 12 counter facing engines. Even with 12 engines, it was considered under powered. It had a short operational life, being retired in 1937. I have included a short YouTube Link. Lots more on Wikkipedia. Plaque is 1/8" BBPW and 1/4 PW backer painted black.

Beautifully done Kris. Jeff

Excellent craftsmanship, RJ

Those are some awesome projects.

My 7 year old grandson asked me to make him a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle portrait. I found an image combining all four including their weapons that i used for a segmentation pattern. If you're not familiar they are, left to right top to bottom, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Not sure how long they've been around but my son was a fan over 30 years ago.

I modified the spice rack for size, thickness of material and removed the middle shelf to make room for taller items. 5/16" Elm, #1 Polar blade for all interior cuts and the veining on the top cross piece. #3 Polar blades for the outside cuts.

Very well done.

Excellent, RJ

Thanks. The frame material is a favorite, but discontinued by the supplier,
