    I used to round the back corners of my blades till I discovered how to make sharp inside turns. As for the burr on the right side of the blade, it becomes second nature to compensate for it, plus I use the burr to help clean up the cut if I need it. Anymore, I don't have a need to stone my scroll saw blades.

    I have a 80 tooth Freud blade on me mitre saw, but I haven't used it in years. I cut all my frame on the table saw. I use a dedicated sled tuned exactly at 45°. The most important factors in making tight fitting frames is accurate 45° cuts and making sure each opposing frame members are exactly the same lenght. So make sure you use stops.

    Sam, every thing I do is with Hardwoods, except for the few portraits I do. Yes, these would hold up very well in just about any hardwood. In my scroll saw class, I teach my students how to compensate for suspect areas that could break such as widening the cut to make an area stronger. I routinely cut fragile items in 1/2", 3/8", 1/4" and 3/16". I cut all my Christmas ornaments in 3/16" hardwoods.Fortunately, I have a full wood shop. Table saw, band saw, jointer and planer, so I mill most of my boards. But I also buy thin boards at Woodcraft. There are many online sources to get thin boards such as Heritage woods, Ocooch Hardwoods and even most of the scroll saw catalogs. Do a google search for Thin Wood Blanks. You will get lots of places to look. One other source for you is Rockler. I know there is one in Ontario, not yo far from you.

    Hey Sam, that is some outstanding work! Something to consider for the future. If you are looking for a nice wood tone finish, use a nice hardwood. I think your napkin holders would look good using mahogany or walnut or Sapele. With a soaking in a boiled linseed oil/mineral spirits mix to bring out the natural color and grain of the wood, then a top coat of your choice. They would look fantastic!
