Finished this for a friend a few days ago. Made the frame to go with it. 1/4" birch ply with luan backer. Cut with #3 Olson spirals. Not happy with the luan backer. Stained with ebony and it just made it darker, not black.
-
Good luck. I'm doing my first show ever tomorrow. Hope yours goes will. Please report back and let us know how it went.
-
Anyone have a picture with this installed? Not sure what I'm looking at.

I would cuddle the absolute worst sulphur farts out of that dog. That's what I do to my boxer, anyway.
-
Amazing piece. That must be some awesome wax. I had to look at the before and after pictures a few times to believe the difference.
-
Beautiful work. Is this company still around? I can't find any information on them except an address.
-
Good work. Curious about the symbol. Is it a society of some kind? Should I be hiding after asking?
-
Great. Found them on her site. Are the bird patterns she sells the ones you use? Doesn't say anything about size or if they are.
-
These look great. Do you have a picture of the final product?
-
Thanks, everyone. I bought some felt this weekend and might give it a shot with some smaller pieces later, but I got some black foam board that works well and looks great. I love wood grain, so some projects get a coat of ebony stain on thin birch plywood with no sealer. Looks great, but more cost and weight.

I've just started doing portraits, but this should apply to most things we cut. What size do you make your backers if you sandwich a piece of felt between them and the cut piece? Ideally I'd like it to all be one size, but if I use a plywood backer (probably 1/8") the side you can see would be different than the main piece. Do you normally make the backer a bit smaller to hide it if you can?

Looks great but looking at all those grass blades to be cut makes me cringe. I hate hundreds of tiny cuts. They're so tedious and it takes more time to find the hole you drilled and line up the blade than to cut two of them.
-
I'm starting my first large pattern tomorrow. It'll be about 20" across and about 15" high. Using a spiral blade for most of it, but might use the flat blade for a few long, straight spots. Any suggestions or tips for large patterns? Using a dewalt 788 saw for it.

Found some spare time and scrolled a little

Looks great. Would you mind sharing the font you used on the pink one? The one that says Rita. -
More like breakfast to die from. I can feel the blood slowing through my heart just looking at the picture. But what a way to go.
-
Anyone here use Japan Drier? Someone on a Scroll Saw facebook group I'm on recommended it with BLO. It's sole purpose is to make oils dry faster?
-
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.

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.
