Check Menards if you have one near you. Mine carries Olson blades for a pretty good price.

Thanks, everyone. I shrunk the picture to fit to page before I printed, so the whole piece is about 10" x 11". Funny you would mention a weathered look. I'm getting some white vinegar to soak my steel wool in to weather the other one. I did that with a frame for another project and it wound up really nice. Of course, I'll test it on the back first before I commit to the whole piece.

Not my pattern. Came from scrollsawartist.com. I tried to paste the link but it won't work from my work internet. Guess I should be working. If you get one, they also make it without the cross. It's the exact same pattern without the cross on it, so if you buy this one you can take the cross out with very minimal tweaking.

If I were you, I'd go to the manufacture's parts website for the saw you want the part out of and buy another one. It'll probably not cost very much (plus shipping) but you don't run the risk of ruining the saw.

Beautiful work. I've been doing all mine in birch but might have to give luan plywood a shot. I need to take a break from spirals and get back into flat blades.

Got mine with the stand for $499 from Rockler about a month and a half ago. If I'd have known how tall the stand was, I might have waited for a sale like this, not driven an hour to Rockler, and made my own stand.

Found some spare time and scrolled a little

Great work. I'll be doing a couple of these pretty soon, too. Working on something different for my sister-in-law. Playing around with opposing colors of wood and Steve Good's name plaque generator software. -
Finished two of these last night (thank God for stack cutting). Took about 5.5 hours. 1/4 birch plywood. Spitballing frame ideas. Second project using spiral blades. Getting the hang of this saw. Please forgive the cell phone picture. Any suggestions on stain? Golden Oak is my go-to stain and I think it would work well for this, but open to suggestions. Forgot to mention this is from a pattern posted here. I'll update with the username when I find it.

Beautiful work and dog. Next dog will definitely be a pit.

Thank you, everyone. I live by an Air Force base, hence the AF logo. I have them for other services, just not cut yet. Didn't count the scallops, but there weren't as many as it seemed. (Not so)protip: It's much easier to cut half of each scallop, back off, then cut half the next in line, then go the other direction and clean up the other sides. It's the only way I was able to keep it as clean as I did. Definitely be stack cutting these next time.

Thank you, everyone. I didn't think those scallops would be fun. I wasn't wrong.

1/2" pine with 1/4 birch plywood backer. Took a lot longer than I thought it would. Might make the next one with red resin instead of a backer. Steve Good pattern.

Made this a few weeks ago. Waiting for the right buyer. 1/4 birch plywood backer and 1/2 pine foreground.
-
Love these patterns. I've already printed both of these out to cut this weekend. Also looking for Addams Family patterns.

Thank you all for the kind words. I should have given more info on this piece. It's about 15 inches tall and about 10 wide. Not sure what type of wood, but it's really soft. The guy at the sawmill gave me a few pieces like this that he can't use because of the knot. The pattern is from arpop. If it's not against the rules, I can post the pattern in the pattern section here. Also, I'm in southern Illinois in a small town called Mascoutah.

Found you guys in a search for scrolling forums. I started using scroll saws in shop class in high school and fell out of it for a lot of years after graduation. My former boss did intarsia patterns and I remembered how much I enjoyed doing it, so I bought a saw about a month ago. Here is the most recent project I finished for another previous boss.
