Brian is trying Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hello everyone. I am not new to scroll sawing but go in cycles of projects. I have made a couple scroll saw logs in the past and really enjoyed it. I had gotten a book from the library that only had two patterns, I made them both. Does anyone know where i might find more? I would love to make my own patterns but am not very gifted at coming up with ideas. Thank You, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyred Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I for one don't know what a scroll saw log looks like. If you could post pictures of what these are, I think the people here can help you better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Brian, welcome to the forum. Glad you are joining us. I am not sure either what you mean by scroll saw logs. A picture would really help us help you. You do know there is a huge pattern library here on this site, all free patterns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Johnson Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 I got a book years ago called Fun and Easy Scrollsaw projects. The name of the book is Spielman. There are 3 log patterns in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worbler Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 From what I could find out it's just a pattern cut into a log, that's had it face removed. I'd figure you'd remove the face with a bandsaw and possibly the back as well, if you wanted to layer it. I found this while looking: WayneMahler and Scrolling Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneMahler Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Brian Welcome to the village.You can use any pattern as long as it fits the size of the log. There is tons of patterns here for free, and Steve Good has a bunch more for free. There also quite a few pay sites that have something you like. Also you may want to check out pintrest. I have gotten a lot of good ideas from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Johnson Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I always save the front piece I cut out of the log. People are amazed at what is inside the log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 The only ones I have seen are the ones you found in the Speilman book. I didn't have an appropriate log so I cut it in an old piece of hand rail. Tommy Johnson and poupster2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worbler Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 So essentially you'd be looking for elongated patterns. That shouldn't present too much of a challenge. What subject would you like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
