    when i started i was using a scroll saw i got when i was a kid.. it had no speed control ,, my suggestion to u is find a simple pattern and try to cut it out using the cheap wood you got ,, when i started i was cutting a simple one it took three trys to get it the other two broke lol you just need to jump in and try it out dont be scared we all make mistakes... just have fun ..

    google your area for hardwood suppliers , maybe craftsman's or something like that i know its hard at first because you don't want to spend all the money the internet boys want to charge , just take your time surf the web i am sure you will find a supplier in your neck of the woods
