Thanks Melanie
-
Welcome to the Village forum from TN
-
Thanks all for the nice comments.
-
Thanks Ray.
-
Thanks Ron. In Diana's original pattern it had a fretwork kokopelli. I preferred the horse.
-
My first attempt was with 1/4" stock. Jim Finn suggested 3/8" stock. I used FD Polar #3 and adjusted the angle with sample cuts until I was satisfied with the fit. Then made the cut.
-
Thanks. Took a little time to get the angle right.
-
Thanks Dan. I switched to spray Lacquer Clear Satin.
-
Thanks RJ. This was a fun inlay.

The pattern is by Diana Thompson, but I modified it by inlaying a horse. I follower Jim Finn's recommendation to use 3/8" stock for the inlay. My wife suggested the white horse inlayed into the Walnut. All other woods are scraps. It was cut on the EX21 using FD Polar #3 and #9 blades. Yes, I still have some FD blades at home. The finish is three coats of Minwax spray Lacquer Clear Satin. Comments welcome.

Hi Sam. I buy Scroll Saw ready wood. I know it is more expensive, but I don’t have a bandsaw.
-
That is exactly what I did with the "Red Fox" posted earlier

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments.

Hi John. I find that dipping gets the sanding sealer in all the frets, especially the tiny ones.
-
Good question. To each his own way of finishing. It seems that the finish is harder with a little more shine.
-
Hey Matt, that looks great. You do the cutting and the wife paints. Can’t get any better.
-
Thanks Dave. The black really sets off the Cherry.
-
Thanks Wayne. It was a fairly easy cut.
-
Thanks Les. A fun one to cut.
-
The pattern is by Jacob Fowler and found in the book "Woodworker's Pattern Book". The wood is Cherry 3/8" x 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" and backed with Baltic Birch plywood 3/8" x 8" x 8" stained black. It was cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #1 MGT blades. The finish is one dip in diluted Shellac and three coats Minwax spray Lacquer Clear Satin. Comments welcome.

Not sure, but I think so. The Pegas Chuck Head Set fits both the DeWalt and Delta.
-
It is in the mail. They should receive it Saturday.
-
I saw that on the other forum, Erv. Looks just as good here. It is truly a work of art.
-
Wow, excellent cutting with spiral blades.

Getting the gears to fit takes time and talent
