Jim, Sparkey, MrsN, Ike, Kevin, NC scroller, and everyone else thanks for the advice. I appreciate your help. I bought some 1/4" birch plywood at Lowes yesterday and also a piece of underlayment I will be practicing with over the next few days trying to decide what's next. I have a Christmas ornament book I plan to cut out a few also. Will start with the underlayment first. Thanks again for the great suggestions.

John I will check that out, and thanks for the tip. David

First fretwork attempt.

Thanks everyone I'll pickup some blanks tomorrow and get started this weekend.

Hello everyone, I have just bought a DW788 from grizzly.com and so far it is fantastic, I have freehanded a few letters and numbers. I am interested in scrolling out a few desktop name pieces, a few club logos for my ham radio friends and want to take a few photos and create a relief/fret work pieces. I would love to use an old photo of our beloved irish setter that is no longer with us, as a memento. What kind of wood blank work best? 1/4 inch plywood, 1/4 inch oak fretwork blanks, or what about 1/2 inch poplar that can be found at home centers Thanks, David

Hello to all, May you all be with the ones you love and thankful for oh so many blessings we all enjoy in this wonderful country. David
