    Well, thanks to all the great advice I managed to finally complete the cut. I switched to my new fav blade the Pegas 3R and split the stack in half and did the cut in 2 projects instead of one. It took less than 15 minutes to finish each stack, which before took me 15 minutes to cut one flower pedal LOL Here's the result of a Steve Good Easter pattern before filing, sanding and finishing: Thanks all for great advice! You all rock big time!

    I've been reading a lot of threads and articles and the one theme I continue to read is "let the piece move itself through the blade". However, my wood does NOT move by itself, I have to apply pressure to move it through the blade and sometimes such as my current project, quite a bit of pressure. I have to apply pressure both through the blade as well as down or I get chatter from the piece. I'm currently using FD #3 UR blades on a 1" think BB 1/4" stack - I've changed to #5 and #7 with no real difference - well #7 was terrible Am I doing this wrong? Thanks in advance

    I realize pro and college sport name/mascots/logos are copywritten and not allowed to be duplicated for sale. However (to the best of anyone's knowledge), is it permissible to make say a Florida Gators project and give it away? Thanks in advance

    Thanks I did get the Pegas blades and WOW what a difference. I actually staying on/within the lines on a cut piece for the first time I don't know if it was the blade or I'm getting better, but changing to the Pegas blade was the first time I managed a decent cut and a straight line I'll post the result in a day or so once I get it oiled and finished

    So I'm in the process of applying Tung oil to one of the plates and it's rim I cut. So far it's 2 days with 2 coats? There must be a quicker/simpler way to finish these things? How many coats do you all usually put of the oils (Tung, Danish or Mineral Spirits) before adding the lacquer? How many coats of Lacquer do you all use as well? It takes longer to "finish" an item than it does to cut it out LOL Thanks in advance

    If you look at the list of available species, you can figure out a few of them - the rest I leave to the experts here I can't remember who recommended that site and those boxes, but it was someone here Whom ever it was THANK YOU LOL

    I bought the 20# and 10# boxes from http://ocoochhardwoods.com/scroll_saw_lumber.php Scroll all the way to the bottom. The 10# and 20# boxes aren't always available since they're 2nds so you have to check back - the exotic box was $35
