Under The Tree - Scroll Saw Challenge

[Travis]

Christmas is fast approaching! Before we know it, the holidays will be here. As scrollers, we love making personalized, handmade gifts for friends and family. So, this challenge is your chance to share what you're making for the people in your life.  Hopefully, it'll also spark the perfect idea for those people on everyone's list who are notoriously hard to buy for.

This is the ornament I finished for my Doctor's baby.  The rooster I did on 2023. The candle I did last year.  I just got the Christmas patterns from Steve for 2025 so I have those to do yet/

I don't know about under the tree, but on the tree is a different story.

The round ornaments are for cousins and their adult children. The sleds will be personalized with paint marker for the offspring--the third generation.

Jim, very nice, where did you get the layered ornament of santa sled at, that is really great design, RJ

I wish I knew. I saw a picture of it on line sometime last year, screen shotted it and made a few minor adjustments.

This one is truly made for under the tree. It includes a load of coal, a Christmas tree, and barrels of egg nog

It reminds me of a Sue Mey pattern.  Maybe check her site.

Beautiful projects.

Created for an elderly birdwatching friend from a block of black walnut 10"x6"x3" with a scrolled evergreen and a relief carved cardinal and birdhouse in the trees.   Dick Mira

Of course, the little ones will need a teddy bear.   Dick Mira  8

Dick, what a great gift for the little ones !  The cross was a very thoughtfu addition, is that your pattern?

Thanks for sharing. 

Rick

[DickMira]

Thanks, Rick.   This is inspired by a Worthington intarsia pattern.  To start, I cut the outline of the bear in a jagged fashion from a two inch thick board. Then,    I cut the rest of the features from 1/4" wood, shaped them and just glued them to the front of the bear.  Turned out to be a very simple project.  Dick Mira

Dick, that's a beautiful table your teddy bear is sitting on.

Made the patterns with co-pilot  .....cut out on 9mm plywood and then painted for my nephew's family's

Thanks, the table was made by my woodworking friend from the same exotic hardwoods I used on the teddy bear. Dick

In lieu of Christmas Cards this year, I am making these Nativity scenes for immediate family members.  I will have my wife, who writes much better than me, put a Christmas greeting on the back.  I will include a plate holder with each.

The nativity scenes are beautiful and will be enjoyed for many Christmas seasons.  Dick Mira

[rjweb]

Paul, that is excellent, and the idea of that instead of a card is a great gift, RJ

[Hudson River Rick]

Hey Paul, you out did the the Big Ole Elf by a landslide.  That is a very thoughtful gift to your family.

Thanks for sharing.

Rick

[Jronn65]

this is Steve Good's pattern.  

[littlecope]

Made these last year for several Family Members and Friends...

They're for making quick notes, i.e., grocery lists, telephone #'s, etc...

We've had ours on our kitchen wall for about 15 years, would be lost without it...

That's a really cool idea. Where do you get the paper rolls  from? and is the pattern available anywhere?

Thanks.
