Welcome to the forum, glad you found us. Lots of threads on here about blades, but it really come down to what you want to saw and what works best for you. There are some good articles at www.Mikesworkshop.com which are worth reading. Heppnerguy is right, blades are an expendable item. They get dull, they break. I by the ones I like by the "gross".

There are three sellers on Ebay I have dealt with several time. I buy cherry and maple boards from them that I glue up to make scroll pictures from. The don't sell the size you are looking for, but you could email them and ask. I have received nice stock from all of them and have been given good service. The sellers are: mainhardwood deer56hunter csmdeals88 Might be worth a try.

Dave, you have found your niche. You do such a great job on these inlaid pieces. You could move on to inlaid names and all... Really nice work.
-
You certainly did a great job on that picture.
-
Thanks guy, I really appreciate the info. I just spent about 20 minutes looking around Jerry's. Sooo much to learn.
-
Glad to have you join us. Looking forward to see some of your pieces.

Jim, check local lumber yards. Lots of them carry it. I also found it at a local place that sells unfinished furniture place. Around here is usually sells for $30-$35 a sheet.

Thank you. I keep learning even at my age.

Rusty, I do not have a clue what that piece of equipment does that you have pictured. Can you explain?
-
That is cool! The birds will love it.
-
Proud, you deserve to be. Very well done.

You really did a very nice job on that cutting. I have the pattern on file. Hope I do as well.

Great job!

Would have taken me a week to build, at least!! Nice work!

Most the pictures I have cut are stacked in a box sitting on a deck. I have never gotten to the framing part of the process. Well I have made a few frames, nothing fancy, but it is not something I enjoy. The reason, I just don't know much about it. I'd like to get busy in this area. I have been looking at mat cutters because I'd like to put matting around some of the pieces. For my little operation I can't afford to buy a professional cutter, I'm curious if one of the little cutter does a decent job and what other tools does on need for this?

Dick, a good one you are disappointed in, just like my last one... and I like the tractor. You did a great job. Makes me want to start a collection of antique tractors. I have got to learn now to make patterns.

Ha, thanks so much for the comments, but, you people always surprise me. I thought I would read. "ya, you are right, the picture sucks, but the feathers are nice". Been sitting here thinking, what to do with the feathers. I like them. I am thinking of how I could make some beads, either on the lathe or scroll saw, brad some sinew, mix the beads and feathers and make my Grandson a Native American necklace. I also have the Kokopelli deer antler thing I could add to it. Is that a dumb idea? He probably would not wear it but it could hang in his bedroom. He is going to be 5 soon.

I have had this pattern for some time, and have been really wanting to do it. I have been waiting to get some more bark sided basswood to use for it but I got impatient and grabbed a piece of cherry I had and use it. Not happy with how it turned out. The wood is just too dark for this pattern. So I thought I could add some color with feathers, but I don't think the feathers go with the dark wood either. I was going to attach the feathers with some artificial sinew I have left over from my kayak building days. I like the feathers, will save them for something else. So I will re-cut this pattern when I have my basswood. Oh, this is a Charles Dearing pattern, BTW he still has a sale of his patterns going on.
