Just completed tis pattern by Grampa, as always and excellent pattern thanks Grampa!

Afternoon family thanks for your generous comments Jer

Have been working on this one quite awhile, finally completed today.

Agree great art work, skilled cutting, doesn't need the horse shoes.

Awesome piece, a lot of skill displayed with this cutting.

Good evening to my Village family. Still not getting on the saw as much as I would like, but working hard to change that. Finished this piece by Scrollin USA this afternoon, so thought I would share it with you all!

Don't really know Denny, perhaps Mahendra does.

Haven't been on in awhile, thought I would post my latest work.

A light with a magnifier may not be essential but it sure comes in handy.

Afternoon friends just wanted to drop in and let you all know I still exist even though I haven't been on the saw or doing shows much of late. But here is a couple of pieces I finished recently hope you enjoy!

When I leaped into scrolling about five years back, I bought several saws from local pawn shows, which is also how I learned that there was both pinned and non pinned blades. I would suggest switching to a Porter Cable saw which can bought at Lowes for around $200. While a low end saw it has worked for me for several years and has no vibration. You only want to tighten your blades until there is a slight ping when you run your thumb along the edge of the blade. I would also suggest either Olsen or Flying Dutchman blades. I seem to have little trouble using either of those. And like was also stated by Triple J make sure to use the right size blade for the wood you are cutting. I cut most of mine out of 1/4 Baltic Birch Plywood, also sold at Lowes however a higher quality is available at specialty shops such as Woodcraft. Hope this helps. Jer

Afternoon Here is a couple I just finished up! The dachshunds are a pattern created by Grandpa and the wolf was done by Sullyscroller.

Great cutting and I never thought of the two stain idea, really makes the main subject stand out!

Thanks everyone for the comments! I like the way the pine is cutting as rdatelle said less chip out and I also like the fact there is less knots and voids. What caused me to back up a bit was the finish on Annette (the white area that runs down her nose) not to pleased with that. Yes, JW is one of my top sellers another one that sells quite well is the picture of the Dalmatian and the Chihuahua and the Dalmatian had pooped on the Chihuahuas head with caption I'm Sorry! Thanks again everyone!
