Most recent Ply Scroll Saw Shell

Most recent Ply Scroll Saw Shell. 
It measures 11.5" across at the mouth and is 9.5" tall. This is my largest Shell to date. I used 6 wedges which were 12" wide and 8" tall. There are 106 segments to this shell and it took approx 40 hours to complete from start to finish. Hope you enjoy. Ron

That's a beauty, I've always thought I'd like to make one of these, just never got around to doing so. Now that I know how long it took you, I don't know if I ever will.

AWESOME, FRIEND! Instead of driving with a cell phone in your ear, you would certainly look good heading down the highway holding this to the side of your head!

Thanks for the comments. Len, I would encourage you  to give it a try. If you begin with the basics of using a 2x4, it would consist of about 32 or more segments and would only take a few hours to complete. Worth the try and the results are very rewarding.

WoW Ron, just amazing. Great finish on it to. Is that a spray finish or a brush job.

[britetomro]

Thanks again to all for the great comments. As mentioned in the past, these are a lot of fun to make and the smaller version made from a 2x4 only takes about 6 hours or so to make. The finish is a spray poly sanded between coats. Overall it has about 5 coats. Would still like to make it more gloss like finish. Not an easy task with curved surfaces. Thanks again. Ron
