OSU Buckeye

If that's your first cut then I can't wait to see what else you do. That looks great. Love the background. That's a perfect picture for that piece.

Very nice! I was trying to figure out how u scrolled two ducks in the back round. But I think they are defect in the wood. Looks good. Like two ducks. Very nice 

Great work!  Keep searching there are many different patterns out there. Some are great patterns. Try pintrest, I found several patterns by shutterstock.
 
If you want a project, you can use the Tree of Life from celticartstudio.com ONCE, if you give Jen Delyth credit when you post it. I've done it if you want to see what it is, it's in my library.  A project well worth it.

Very beautifully done Mike. I like your personal touch added. You just kiked it up a notch. 

Awesome work. My son is a diehard Ohio State fan so maybe I will be able have him cut one. I will tell him that it is required of all Buckeye fans.

WOW  superbe ! A beauty , and your backing is a very good idea, I 'll try to remember it....!😉

When I saw a youtube video of someone who did a scroll saw tutorial on the tree of life....it convinced me to get into the hobby.
So I bought a scroll saw and made this my first project.  I decided to attach a photo as well for the background.  Also added a white backing so the light would show through a bit.
I put the finished tree of life on the window sill.

The use of a photo was from someone on youtube who used a sunset photo.  I decided to use a photo I had taken of the two ducks swimming because it was simple and the focus point is on the ducks on the right, their paddling wake on the left, and a brighter "sky" section showing through the top of the tree through the smaller holed out sections.  It really depends what effect you are looking for.  I may do some others with different photos down the road.
