A cut that I has been in my "to do" pile for a while. Found the picture online a while back and made just a couple of changes. 1/4" BB with a 1/4" backer. I used an Olsen #2 reverse blade. I cut up a piece of 2"x4" for the frame. This is the first frame that I have made in over 10 years! I'm not very good at them so I tend to come up with other ideas instead of the normal frame. Burnt the frame a bit just because it's fun! Couple coats of clear. Made this one for me just to hang in the shop, gets lonely out there sometimes!
Cool. My local Rockler always has some pieces of crotch Walnut. I have bought a few pieces in the past. Send me a pic of what you have, I may be interested in a piece.

Thanks everyone. I wish I could say that it was a fun cut but I had convinced myself before even starting that it wouldn't turn out very good. LOL
Frank, yes as far as I know. She sent me a picture of what she wanted and Birchbark turned it into a pattern for me. Here is what she sent to me.
A co-worker asked if I could make her Family's Coat of Arms. I put out a request for a pattern here and got two very nice designs. A big thanks goes out to Dutchscroller and Birchbark! I let the co-worker pick the design of her choice. This is the first scroll saw piece that I have made in the last 6 months except for a couple small Christmas ornaments, I have been spending my time making pens on my lathe. Here is the pattern and the finished piece. I used the pattern made by Birchbark, thanks Russell! I used 1/4" BB for the top piece and 1/2" BB for the backer. I used vinyl for the colors. Started off using my go to blade, Olsen #2 reverse then switched to a Flying Dutchman similar size just for the heck of it. I will take it to work today, hope she likes it!
I didn't wanna get off topic by posting pics of my bikes, BUT the title of this thread has MC in it, so here goes! One of the first cuts I made when I got back into woodworking a few years ago. I made this for a charity ride for the American Legion to help raise money to fight children cancer. This is the guy that won it in an auction, he paid $90 for it.
Blue bike is a 2002 Kaw. 1500 Meanstreak
Bottom bike is my 2005 Kaw VN2000. It has the 2053cc engine in it. Very powerful bike. Unfortunately it has been a garage queen the last couple of years. Ridden only 3 or 4 times per year. It has gotten so bad on the roads with everyone always on their phones it's just too dangerous anymore.
That would be me. LOL I had to stop and rethink how I was going to keep doing this. I already have more patterns ready to spray onto the door than I have room for.
Kawasaki VN2000,, it's a 2053cc big boy cruiser. There are some nice roads out in Lake County. Out in Mt. Dora, Tavares, Minneola, Montverde, etc. Several places to stop and get a bite to eat.
I've rode that area many times on my bike,, ate at the Osteen diner a time or two also,, they are a bit pricey on their breakfast. The "Deltona Loop" isn't quite as nice as the one up by you!
