This is how we roll in my house!

My version of the Santa truck by Steve Good.  I didn't care for the reindeer on the side but didn't want to leave it blank.  The wife printed out the words on her Cricut.  I have a couple more in the works.  One made from BB ply that the wife wants to paint and another made from old grey pallet wood.  Man this Maple was hard to cut!  I have cut Maple before but it was't this hard to cut.  I tried several different kinds of blades.  Maybe it is Hard Maple?  Is Hard Maple actually harder to cut than Soft Maple?  

[Scrappile]

Super job!!  Looks to me you found the right stuff to cut the Hard Maple.  Perfect!

when I get my saw working I want to cut that pattern. (if I can figure out how to get a copy of it!) I actually had a '49 f1, and that reminds me of it. I want to do some different wheels, and maybe some flames! you did a good job! thanks for posting that picture.

I just thought....I have access to a cricut too...my daughter-in-law is darn good with one!

@shiney b you can find the pattern he used on Steve Good’s blog here: http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/2019/11/click-image-to-enlarge-below-rumor-has.html he removed the reindeer from the door and put the “Ford” there instead.

Very nicely cut.

I like the way the wheels look on this.

As mentioned,  it is on Steve Good's site.  I have been getting lazy with cutting letters and words lately,, it's much easier to have the wife cut out on the Cricut what I need!

I almost didn't cut the inner circle but decided to go for it.  

[wombatie]

I love it and I really like the Ford sign.  Well done.

Really like that.
I think the "Ford" is much better than a deer.

I may have to cut that, it re-mind's me of an Aussie Xmas song

very nice job

Great job and yes, hard maple is quite a bit tougher than soft maple.  They make cutting boards out of hard maple.  Not sure what the difference is as far as trees go, but the final product is vastly different.

I don't know if it was Hard Maple or not.  The piece was included in a box of "cut-offs" from Ocooch Hardwoods that I bought.
