The pattern is by Gary Browning and found in his book "Wild West Scroll Saw Patterns".  I used 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood 8" x 10" and backed with a black mat board.  Of course framed at ArtCrafters.  It was cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw with Pegas #3 Spiral blades.  I chose this pattern to try the Pegas spiral blades.  Very impressed with the blades.  The finish is one coat sanding sealer and two coats spray Polyurethane Clear Satin.  Comments welcome.

Nice job Denny. Just got finished ruining another native American pattern just a few minutes ago. Just can't get the hang of Baltic Birch. Had a couple of the feather pieces just break right off using a 2/0 Pegas spiral. Luckily, I had just gotten  started so I have enough wood to make an ornament or two. One of these days I'll get the hang of it, but I've just always hated Baltic Birch.

Thanks for the comment.  I too like western art, but I chose this one to test Pegas Spiral blades.

Thanks for the comment.  For this one I used the Pegas #3 Spiral blade, actually three for the project.  Left a lot of fuzzies, but the Sand Flee cleaned them right up.

Thanks for the comment.  It depends on the wood and thickness, but I seem to go through a lot of MGT #1 blades

Thanks all for the nice comments.  I made one about five years ago, but it was 11" x 14".  This 8" x 10" was a little harder.

Very nicely done and framed Denny.

wish I could try Pagas blades,Since fd blades  past i'm not getting the correct blades as they do't last at all. I'm use't 2 -3 hour cuts in 3/4 ply but now every 10minutes???
