Sure see you’ve been busy. Of course my favourite is the truck. The ornaments are all very beautiful. A lot of work and very well done.

Ah, I can vividly remember my first project going back 24 years. I had just built my 8 x 12 workshop and purchased my first scroll saw. A 16” Craftsman, and couldn’t wait to get started. Photo attached was my first project, and it was a Christmas gift for my mother. I think I spent at least three evenings till midnight completing this. I was finally done and proud as hell. My mother was very pleased, it was the first thing she would put out on display each Christmas season. When she passed in 2007 I received it back. Here it is. A Christmas window scene cut out on ⅛” oak and enclosed within an oak frame and red acrylic backing on a mahogany stand. Now my wife puts it out on display each Christmas season as well. What was your first project and story? Love to hear it. Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks Marg. There are 12 plate patterns to this one. I never keep track of my time but I’m thinking 10 hours.

Thanks Jeff. Had this pattern for many years and decided since I had the wood I should cut it. Gave it to my brother so I’ll be cutting a couple more. A very Merry Christmas to you and family.

Thanks Paul. That is correct. Roy King introduced this style of doing marquetry many years ago and he at one time had his own business where one was able to purchase his patterns and a wide selection of ⅛” hardwoods. Unfortunately for some reason it was closed. The double bevel technique using ⅛” hardwoods is much easier and faster than the traditional marquetry using veneers. The best thing about it there are no special tools required. All you need is a scroll saw. Thank you.

Trinket boxes (apple & butterfly). Pattern by Paul Meisel. Size of apple design is 2 ¼” x 3” x 1 ½”, butterfly 5” x 2 ¼” x 1 ½”. Lid slides open on a dowel. Woods used were lace wood, poplar, maple, walnut, paduak, cherry, & wedge. Inside of each flocked. Finished with clear satin polyurethane and polished with bees wax. Very easy and fun to make and best of all you get to make use of any scraps. Thank you.
