    They are fun to cut and good use of scrap pieces, you can cut them with all kind of wood and they look very good. Another way to use your scraps is 3D bird houses.

    The saw will do the work, but you have to get the right blades. Flying Dutchmen has puzzle blades.

    This is amazing, the patience, time and also talent that was involved making this art piece is PRICELESS. I would display it at some shows and let some people that appreciate hard work offer you a true value for this project.

    Thank you very much for all the nice comments, it is real nice when your work is appreciated. Since we are all scroller here we know the work involve and when a project turns out great it is very satisfying. p.s. If anybody would like the pattern for the Romanian Bowls Just Holler.

    Cut a couple of Romanian bowls, and autumn bowls and some Christmas ornaments. I called the Romanian bowl because the pattern is from a Romanian and he gave permission to use it, had to google translation to find out about it. The autumn bowls are from Sheila Landry and the Christmas Ornaments from Steve Good.

    http://www.ocoochhardwoods.com/ This is my main source and I'm sure lot's of folks here shopped there also. Measures are exact and quality is the best.

    I used only FD blades and the ultra reverse are my top blades, I agree with Don they are so smooth you don't need to sand after your cut.

    I have made over 25 bowls and you do not require this expansive tool, you can get the ball sander at Lee Valley Tools: http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=56679&cat=1,42500,42504 I also use this sander http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=49254&cat=1,42500 and I also have this one which I used to sand the bowls after initial cutting; http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=45190&cat=1,290,42500,42504,45190 Also I order the small ball sanding tool from King Arthur tool : http://www.katools.com/shop/guinevere-small-round-sander-p-212.html With all these you can make nice bowls that nobody will think that you can do on a scroll saw.

    Best blades for me are Flying Dutchmen, I used mostly UR from # 2 to 7. Wooden teddy bear sells them now but you still can get them through Mikes Worshops

    I usually clean up after the day. also wear a mask all the time. I have a ShopVac air cleaner suspended above the saw and I also run a Craftex dust collector when I sand. I just want to show a busy saw with the picture. Thanks for the comments.

    Thank you so much for the pattern, I guess you just increase the size as per your liking?
  22. scrollerpete
    How did you make the pattern, did you just draw 2 circles? I tried and so far no good result.
  23. scrollerpete
    Nice job cutting it, they are fun to do. I cut many and after I cut one side I used packing tape to secure the pieces together and then cut the other side, very simple and very fast. I made lot's of birdhouses also that re 3 D cuttings.
  24. scrollerpete
