If I had to make a general suggestion, Patrick Spielman books were the first that came to mind but, if you just look for the scroll-sawing section of the library, you can browse what subjects are covered that appeal to you. I made a couple of puzzle from wedding pictures simply by applying a spray glue to the back of the photo and glueing it to a piece of wood the same size as the photo. I then laid a puzzle template on top of the photo and taped it all around the block of wood with clear packaging tape. As you cut the pieces of the puzzle, the packaging tape with the template will just peel off your wood. I did not coat the photo with anything afterwards because the photo is already pretty durable. I think I used 1/2" wood but, you could probably go as thin as 1/8" if you wanted to. You can also cut the individual pieces free-hand with-out the extra step of using a template. Good luck on your future projects and God Bless! Spirithorse

If the runs are not too pronounced, you can also try to wipe it with mineral spirits but, you may have to apply another coat of poly or laquer afterward. As already stated, thin coats applied by the manufacturer's suggestions are the best way to avoid the runs to begin with. God Bless! Spirithorse

Nice work, Peter, I also enjoyed the segmentations of the Disney Characters and like the way you framed them in a sort of shadow box. Great work! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Nice work with a lot of variety of selection, Kevin, Great job! While you were taking photos, perhaps you should have labeled the boxes with the contents so you know exactly what is where for future gifts and sales. God Bless! Spirithorse

Looks great, Darcy, The pattern was published in Creative Woodworks and Crafts in July 2010 and designed by Deborah Nicholson. God Bless! Spirithorse -
Looks great! What size did you cut that at, please? God Bless! Spirithorse

Hi, Forester, I down-loaded a font called Scroll Beach Italic but, have never used it (I don't do a lot of word art). As I was looking through possible fonts to use that would look nice, I think SCRIPT MT BOLD would make a nice font that resembles Italic lettering but, you have to erase some of the lines to create bridges to modify the font so it can be scrolled. God Bless! Spirithorse

Thanks for the reply, Clayton, and, again, very nicely done! Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Nicely done, Clayton, Who designed that pattern, please? Spirithorse55 at hotmail.com

Great work! As you can tell from the comments you shouldn't limit yourself to word art. Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

Nice work, Heppnerguy, Thanks for showing the project (which is pretty good in my opinion) and thanks for the advice to help other potential pattern designers. Don, Great patter but, I have to admit that at 8" x 10" the detail still leaves the problems Heppnerguy spoke of with extremely hard areas to scroll at that size (such as the facial features) and there certainly isn' much holding the bottom of the pattern together with the oar and the shadow intersecting most of the bottom portion. It CAN be scrolled and I am not demeaning your artistic ability. I am just commenting that it would be a difficult pattern at 8" x 10". Thanks for helping Heppnerguy with the clean up and God Bless!
