    I got it all done with several coats of finish. It measures 20 x 32 and has 230+ pieces. I've got 45 hours in it. The woods used were. Aspen, aromatic red cedar, poplar, walnut, wenge, yellowheart, northern white cedar, honey locus and oak. The P.O.W flag and letters are oak that I ebonized and the blue is aspen that has been dyed. Everything else is natural colors of the wood. I really enjoyed making this one. It will be entered into our county fair later this summer. Update- The fair is over and I placed first.

    I have made ovals using inkscape with the draw circle function. I get it to the oval shape I like then adjust it to the size I want.

    congrats on the saw. I pulled the dust collection off of mine for the same reason, to many little pieces were getting stuck in there.

    Welcome to the village. I only use Flying Dutchman scroll reverse tooth blades. My go to sizes are # 5 and # 7, I cut a wide range of materials and thicknesses with these two sizes. I do have and use smaller blades # 3 and #2/0 for smaller detailed patterns. I also use spirals blades but only when I have to. There is a learning curve to use them. you can find Flying Dutchman blades here - http://www.woodenteddybearonline.com/x/home.php?cat=550&sort=orderby&sort_direction=0&page=1. Oak, poplar, cherry, maple, are some woods but not sure if they can all be purchased at the big box stores. my Home depot only carries oak, poplar pine and some cedar. for thinner portrait style cuttings I use 1/8" Baltic birch.
