Popular Post Old Joe Posted April 28 Popular Post Report Posted April 28 (edited) Due to some health, and other issues, I’ve been stagnant for a few months with my scrollsaw, but with the help of a pattern from Fiona Kingdon, I fired things up the past few days. This is called Foliate Crucifix. I took a few liberties with it, mainly with the recessed cut making for a ring within a ring, allowing me to insert a stained glass backing. I have now done a few using this technique. It’s more difficult to do than it looks, but I’m mostly happy with the result. Trying to get a picture highlighting how intricate the cuts are proved to be impossible. Other than for the recessed cut, I used Pegas size zero spiral blades for every other cut. The outer circle is 9” wide. Edited April 28 by Old Joe More info. Be_O_Be, TAIrving, barb.j.enders and 22 others 16 2 7 Quote

jerry walters Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 Happy you're feeling better. Having a scroll saw sure does improve our spirits. Sometimes when I'm down, I can't wait to get back. Nice cutting. Jerry barb.j.enders, danny and Old Joe 2 1 Quote

Old Joe Posted May 4 Author Report Posted May 4 (edited) cswilliams1963, A couple of years ago I bought a couple of 12’L x 12”W x 1” thick boards from the Frederick Lumber Company in Maryland. I planed the 2nd one down to 5/8” thick, which made it easier to work with. I have done numerous projects out of it and am down to a a couple of feet left. They had a big stack of it. I was in there last week and they only had a few picked over pieces left. It is beautiful wood and moderately difficult to scroll. Frederick Lumber, formerly Exotic Lumber, is a massive indoor lumber yard with massive quantities of many varieties. Edited May 4 by Old Joe Quote
