I made two for my wife this year. The first is a Steve Good pattern. Done in 1/2” Cherry. The backer and base is Sapele. The beard is 1/8” Aspen. The nose is 1/4” Ceader. The second is from the Spring issue of ScrollSaw Woodworking and Crafts. The girl is 3/4” Poplar, the base is 1//2” Cherry. The birds are Purpleheart, Cherry, Redheart, Mahogany and Wenge. Every wood was from the scrap bin. Everything cut with FD Ultra Reverse #1 and #3.
