Peace Button

[Birchbark]

I realize this isn't anything awesome like the rest of you cut.  But it is my second attempt with my $5.00 scroll saw and blades i got from Home Depot.   

My friend lost a button off of her purse, i said i could make her one.  She wanted a peace symbol.  This is what i came up with.  I can see all the imperfections.  lol.  But still it was fun.

  Russell,

That is totally awesome my friend!! And, What! A $5.00 scroll saw? Or was that the cost of the blades? I know a scroll saw is not $5 bucks just starting up a joke.  

I think you are on to something with that button. You might strike it rich if you come up with lots of different kinds. I have seen so many people collecting buttons.

Russell that is very nicely done.  Look out though that little button could become a monster.  There are a lot of teens that like that symbol I can foresee requests for necklaces, earrings, buttons things like that.  Keep up the great work.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Actual Russ if you cut a few of them they might just sell well in a show they could be sprayed different colours and look good on a necklace. Roly

Nice job. Remember, there are no imperfections. You are now an artist in wood, and those little marks are your individual expression! 😃

Oh Russell you always surprise me, now you are in the button business, you could make a killing with those Peace Signs.

Thanks guys, I cut it out of a piece of quarter inch mahogany.  I think it would look better with some finish, but she wanted it "natural"     Hippie chick that she is.

Yep, five dollar scrollsaw on Craigslist.  Works great.  Not variable speed and only takes pin end blades, but it isn't a bad deal for a working saw.

 

Thanks again for the encouragement, i guesss i should have stack cut this one.
