For practice wood, look around at local business that have pallets sitting outside. Some have to send the pallets back, but with a little looking you will have as many as you need to work your skill level up. Other practice wood, look around for some one taking down a house, barn or fence. For other hard wood, look up saw mills. Have a local I bought wood from that lets me go through his scrap and off cuts for free. That is if you have room to let it dry out before use.

Hello. A few months back I bought an old rusty red master craft scroll saw. On off switch single speed, breakneck fast. Pinned blades that were difficult at best to change. Cleaned it up and gave it a go. With a little difficulty I was able to cut out a few bear intarsia. Learning some hard lessons along the way, like it is better to cut it right then try to sand it into submission. Just bought a porter cable. Love this saw. Not perfect, but next to my master craft it is brilliant. Have not found a blade I totally love. Bought some flying dutchman No.1's that I break more often then get to cut right. Next order going to switch to No. 5 blades in more styles. Foot switch in the near future. Hope to learn a few things from the resident masters.
