Larry, You did a great job. Very impressive. If screw holes were off you would've had a problem. Keep up the great work. Thanks for sharing

Nice looking Kevin, I thought they were small pieces until I saw the stack on the keyboard. Thanks for sharing Sam

I want to thank EVERY MEMBER who took the time to check out my design/cutting and reply with comments and advice. By now I realize that I should have used other woods than BB ply. As for the type of wood: I am limited to what I can buy at the big home centers. I don't have a table saw (I sold a fairly new one cheap at a garage sale just before I got into Scroll sawing). I don't have a planer, so I am stuck using finished boards at my local home centers. There are a couple of large lumber stores but they don't carry but 3/4 boards & 1/2 poplar & oak. NO thin boards. I understand I can buy these online. As for painting vs staining, I am not set up to spray paint in my garage specially being close to my neighbors. I do have a air brush. I will have to make an effort to paint outdoors without a lot of SMELL If I decide to air brush, do you think I need to seal the BB with before painting? Thanks again for all the help. Sam

Yes I do have an EX16 but I don't have problems braking blades. Actually I have not broken ANY blades at all. Thanks
-
Bill, I guess my choice of bb was not the best for these pieces. I agree with you and I am worried if I stain them, I might have some "splotchy" areas. I will have to use something like lacquer or polyurethane on top, correct? Thanks
-
Wayne, Thank you for the compliment

Very nice and elegant napkin holders. I will have to make some from 1/2 oak next. did you mean: shellac, then paint color over the shellac? I tried Tun oil on some scrap pieces but didn't come out smooth on the plywood. Thank you
-
Thank you Roly
-
Thank you, I may end up doing that. Appreciate the advice
-
Thank you Kevin, I am NOT in demand but I would like to be I will keep improving, may some day I will be. Thanks again Sam
-
Ron, Great job on your pieces (toooo much work for me). Thank you for the compliment and the advice. Next I will make napkin holders out of oak or walnut. I did mess with an air brush a few years back, but it is a mess to keep cleaning after 2-3 minutes of air brushing. Back then I didn't do scroll sawing. Thank you
-
John, I LOVE your pieces. Great work. Very Impressive. I feel the same way about paints. I need to stick to stains, lacquers & polyurethanes. I think my choice of BB does not lend itself to the expected final pieces. Next I will make more napkin holders out of solid wood (likely 1/2 oak) Thank you Sam
-
Bob, Thank you for the compliments / advice. I don't want to add more phases at this point. I will have to stick to stains. But I still need to finish with some kind of lacquer or polyurethane after staining. Thanks Sam
-
Dan, Thank you for the compliment and advice. Where would I get Mahogany, Walnut or Sapele, in thin boards? or are you talking about using 3/4" thick? Do you think these thin cuts/initials will hold up if cut from solid wood? I will have to try. I think next I will use 1/2 Oak. I appreciate you help Thank Sam

Steve, Thank you for the compliment and the advice. Sam

Paul, I feel the same way about using paint. I still have not decided how to finish these Thank you
