Ah chew!

Family birthdays coming up and what to do?
I know - look over scroll saw patterns and find something the ladies will like.
Decided on this one and the sister-in-law liked it, so I made this one for our daughter.
And learned another something in the doing - to get good joints, cut outside the lines and not on the line (at least it worked for me).
The tissue holder has enough space inside to insert a colored backing of your choice for the cutouts to showoff the cutouts.
1/4 inch wood, so next time I'll try my luck at stack cutting 2 or 3.
Still have to touch this one up and as usual can't decide on the finish.
Luckily, I have wife who is full of those kinds of ideas.

Very nice. Well done.

Very well done.  A nice bright color under the cuts will make it outstanding.  

Not sure what the wood you used is, but it looks nice, so a natural stain to enhance the grain might be the way to go with a couple coats of Wipe-on Poly.  For everyday use it needs a good protective coating that would be easily cleaned.

excellent job

[Scrappile]

Very well done.... She will be pleased.

Well done, Joe,
I do agree that a colored backer would have helped this project really pop
but, that is just my opinion. I like it as is and you did a remarkable job.

Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Another Steve Good pattern - He has a bazillion of them and fortunately/unfortunately I like waaaay too many of them. 
I think I have the next scroll sawing year of my life coming from his website.
But seriously, it's a good starting point for me.  I think it will be a loooong time before I'm able come close to producing some of the beautiful  works I've seen by the people who are on this forum. (is there an emoji for envy?)

That's a lovely bit of cutting especially on the joints they look nice and tight
