Herd of Alpacas

[Denny Knappen]

Herd of Alpacas pattern by Jaeheon Yun and found in his book 20 Minute Scroll Saw Puzzles. I used 3/4" Hard Maple approximately 8" square. Cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #5 MGT blades. After sanding with a Mac Mop, dipped in diluted Shellac and then lightly snded again. Comments welcome.

Denny, Nice cut. Just curious how long did it take to cut? 

I used a Pegas MGT3 for all of them as I wanted a smaller gap, better for the photos. It took a bit of concentration so that I didn't push sideways in the turns. The MGT 5 is perfect.   It is a great book, hard to choose a favorite but I really like the Penguin Pileup and the frogs. 

I will post a couple of pictures as I don't want to highjack your post.

Thanks Rolf.

I didn't time the cutting as at ArtCrafters there is always interruptions.  I use either #3 or #5.  These puzzles are more for little hands, so I used a #5 MGT blade.  I heard he might have a second book.  Are you test cutting that one?

Just curious why you use diluted shellac VS oil?

Seems to dry quicker.
