    Thanks, all. I made this for a co-worker. She's from India, and wants to buy it for her husband's birthday present.

    I just finished cutting this 11x15 inch picture of the Taj Mahal in Baltic Birch plywood on my scroll saw. Pattern design by me using GIMP2 program. Pegas 2/0 spiral saw blade.

    I designed and cut this one. 1/8" Baltic birch. Pegas 2/0 spiral blades.

    Thank all of you for your kind comments. This is a big part of why I love scrolling...sharing and hearing the comments of so many other talented artists. You all the ones who keep me going.

    I cut this last weekend. Pattern design by me using GIMP2. Pegas 2/0 spiral blades on 1/8" Baltic Birch ply.

    I just finished cutting this. No finish yet. 1/8 Baltic birch ply. Pegas 2/0 spirals. 8" x 10". I posted this photo taken from an odd angle, because other people will often steal the pattern, and I might want to sell it to other scroll saw hobbyists.

    I did not stack this one. But I wish I had.
  9. Kris Martinson
    Yes. I try to take advantage of the grain whenever possible. Thanks so much for your comments.

    My latest cut. No stain or finish, yet. 8" x 10" x 1/8" Baltic Birch. Pattern by me.

    Dick, I didn't use a record album. This is a combination of a few different pictures.

    Pete, your reply is the one most applicable to my situation. I don't have a basement or a detached room or even a room that I can close off from the rest of the house. Do you use your scroll saw in the house, where it is at least somewhat open to the rest of the house?

    Jerry, I haven't lived there yet. Just vacationed there many, many times. We hope to move to Upcountry Maui someday.

    Does anyone here do their scroll sawing indoors...I mean inside the house where you live...? If so, how do you handle dust and is your dust collection effective?

    I cut this one yesterday just cuz I miss the islands.
  16. Kris Martinson
    Really nice. Shows the delicate beauty of your subject.

    I feel quite vintage myself, Marg.

    You are off to a great start! And this is a great place to share and learn. You're gonna love it here. ps...I think you are a brave scroller for cutting in and around that knot.

    I cut this piece on my scroll saw last weekend. I got the photo from an old record album. Sometimes it's just fun to go "retro". This is cut in 1/8" thick Baltic Birch plywood.

    I like it. Great expressive face which you captured well.

    This is such a basic question, that I'm almost embarrassed to ask it. I used to get all the nice plywood for my projects from Lowe's. But Lowe's has decided that wood craft is not worthy of their space. I got some fairly nice plywood from my local Woodcraft shop, but the finish is rough and selection is really limited. I want to start ordering my wood supply online, so I need your best recommendations. Thanks in advance.

    Thank you. It means a lot, coming from a master like you.

    From one of my favorite movies.

    I made the pattern for this from the photo. Doing portraits of famous people is a way of checking my pattern design ability. So many people know what the face should look like that if the pattern I make is not a good likeness, it will be readily apparent to everyone.

    Great job! You nailed it. You are certainly a dedicated scroller.
