Last puzzle for the upcoming craft sale. Cut from Poplar with MG#5 blade. I have painted the hardboard backer to represent the sea. There are about 4 shades of blue that I sponged on. Didn't get a picture of the backer. I have priced it at $50 so we'll see!
I haven't used that product.
I have used this for patterns. Haven't tried it for stack cutting. Don't think it would be strong enough. https://store.workshopsupply.com/catalogue/scroll-saw-stick-and-release-tape-12-20-p-4418.html
Thanks Dick,
I get bored cutting the same thing all the time. I have a couple of ideas for the new year! Right now it is pumping out the same stuff for a couple of craft sales.
Here is my attempt at this great pattern. Not sure what the wood is, except thin! This is only my third attempt at spirals. Used a #1. Some lines became suggestions . Finished with beeswax/mineral oil.
Thanks Paul. The mane and tail are actually painted. It is a bronze colour that has a bit of sparkle to it. The horns are painted with a multi-colour sparkle.
It looks great. Take the pattern off and put it away for a couple of days. Take it out, you won't see the "mistakes". We are always our own worst critics.
I hadn't heard of them either, but loved the idea. I have been selling them for a couple of years. It is funny that some older people will pick one up and say - I remember.....
The cards a a combination of a couple of poems and say
With a sprinkle of magic and a dash of holiday cheer, this key only works on special day each year. Place this key on Christmas eve somewhere that I can plainly see. Love from Santa Claus
Finicky little things, but sell okay. 17 keys done. The 18th one met with unfortunate sanding mishap . Oak, from a friends scrap pile. Painted with craft acrylic paint. I didn't put a top coat on.
