The pattern is by Charles Dearing. Some time ago, I asked "Brown or Black" for the backing. Brown was the overwhelming choice. This was cut on the Pegas Scroll Saw using Pegas #0 Spiral blades. The wood is 1/4" Baltic Birch plywood and backed with a dark brown mat board. Of course framed at ArtCrafters. Comments welcome.
The pattern is by Alex Fox. I enlarged the pattern to fit a 10" x 10" piece of 1/4" Mahogany. Since I cut this at home, I cut it on the EX21 using FD UR #1 blades. The finish is three coats of spray Polyurethane Clear Gloss. I normally do not use gloss, but it fits this project. Comments welcome.
I agree with Roberta, spirals are a little hard to control on straight and curved lines. As a Pegas distributor, I recommend MGT blades #1, #3, #5, an d maybe #7. This should get you through most projects.
Hi John. The publisher went bankrupt, so I doubt any magazines are available. You might check the internet for issues. I also found out that scrolleronline lists some.
