Found this free 2009 Pattern by The Wood Aartist and could not resist. There was no words on the pattern, I added them in a Font called Curse of the Zombie i found on the dafont website. Just needed to add a few bridges. I actually added the words afte the image was totally finished and it looked like it needed something to complete the picture. It is an 8X10, cut from 1/8 BB ply with a 1/8 painted black BB ply backer permanently fixed in a very cheap Wallmart farme. Almost completed with one Pegas 2/0 spiral blade. Finally broke doing the R in DARE. This was a quick, fun to do, cut. It was especially fun not having to be tooooo careful while doing the letters. I have a number of other MC related patterns in my pattern envelope just waiting.

Love it, copied the image into my PC for a not too distant future project. Thnnks for sharing.

Absolutely Beautiful! Just want to know what blade you used to cut those stones?

This picture is of a piece my grandfather did before my father was born and he passed at age 98, so I know it is well over 100 years old. It has always hung, in one frame or another with various backer materials, in our family homes managing to survive all these years. I inherited it in 1992 and it was in very poor condition. I repainted the fretwork and affixed it to a very dark red velvet backing stretched over a hardboard panel and had it professionally framed. It is approximately 34"X40". The framing was of musiem quality done to seal and preserve the work. Is currenly hanging in my daughters home and hopefully will be handed down to future generations. As you can see there is a number of individual pieces and I believe they were cut from very thin Balsa Wood, maybe 1/6" thick. From what I understand, this was all cut by hand, I presume using a fretsaw. If you look close you may find there are two words that are different from the Lords Prayer I was tought in Sunday School as a young kid. Unfortunately, when my Grandfather was still alive I failed to learn more about how this work came about because I was young and had more important things on my mind.

I like...nice work. Is the two pictures of the same cut, just in different light and one closer to the camera?

It was his post that gave me the idea to make these.

Patterns are Pumpkin Split Monograms purchased and downloaded from The Holz Brothers web site. Cut from 1/2" thick sanded ply with a black painted 1/8" BB ply backer. Pegas #2/0 MG for the lettering,#1 MG for all other interior areas and #5 MG for the outside perimeter with the backer attached.. The Pumpkins are rattle can Orange with Green acrylic craft paint on the stem. Made more weather proof by multiple coats of rattle can Clear Urathane. Other than the letters, the patterns were easy cutting. Patting myself on the back a little I do have to say that my letter cutting skills sre improving.

I purchased a precision hand miter saw set up to make good miters (https://www.garrettwade.com/fast-safe-accurate-mitre-saw.html). I did not want to spend a lot of money for a very precise power miter saw. I do not have a good place to use it anyway..

I checked with them. They only supply a paper copy in B&W lines and shaded areas. IK ordersd some and will scan them into my PC for safe keeping. I found some really advanced cuts that I might try.

I can only say WOW

I would like to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to, one of our own, Dennis Knappen or Artcrafters in Dayton, Tn. Here is a litle reason why. As I have mentioned before I am still a newbie and only been here in SSV a few months now. When I first started to do scroll saw work I did a lot of research about things like Pattterns, Blades, Wood, etc., which led me to a number of websites that sold such Items. When I needed Bldes, I ordered some from a number of different sites. What I could not understand was why it took over 10 days before they shipped and then stipulated there was a 16 day shipping window. Found another site that did better, but was from Canada. They took 3 or 4 days to process the orderr and then it was still well over a week in the mail and, of course, they charged shipping fees. I was introduced to Dennis through one of the posts hereon where they discussed the Pegas Saw and how he was able to provide a good cost on the 21" Pegas. So I contacted Dennis and upgraded through him.....the price was very good and I'm very happy. Recently received an advertising E-mail from Dennis offering a good deal on some small twist bits and offering free shipping with a min $35 order. I happen to be looking for some small bits and visited his Artcrafters Website to check out the bits and some blades I was wanting to order. I placed my order Last Sunday and my oder arrived today. Considering it was just shipped USPS first class, that is what I call great service. THANK YOU DENNIS. Would love you to make free shipping for orders over $35 on blades and such a standard on your site (at least for SSV members).

Looks like that is the source. They aren't very informative. They dont say if it is a real pattern or just a .jpg. Guess I'll have to spend $6.50 to find out. I'm supprised I did not see it on their site before as I have looked through their offerings a few times. They have a few more "Eagles" I like. Thanks

Screaming Eagle Is all 1/8" BB ply and loose set into a Pine custom made 11X14 frame. The original artist is unknown and the cut was made using a photo of another cutting. I really like the Screaming Eagle design but wish I could find a real pattern as the results of cutting from a photo is poor and there is some distortion. My cutting using spiral blades for the flag areas was a mistake as it is raggered at best. I decided to add color to the flag and had the cutting been better I think adding color to the flag was a good idea. The raggered cutting was not quite as evident untill the color was added. Will probably hang this somewhere in the workshop to remind me to be more careful on blade selection. The Eagle Feather is cut from 3/8" thk solid Oak over a 1/8" BB ply backer and mounted of a painted black backer and fixed into a custom made 16X8 Oak frame. Pattern from Steve Good's Scrollsaw Workshop website.

Great work. Did you count the holes in the mustache by any chance?

Great work and subject.

My back yard fence is squirrel Highway. Very nice pattern and cutting.

Welcome from East Cosat of Centra Florida. I'm originally from LINY but transplanted to Asheville area of NC in 96 and then 19 years later moved down here. NC is a nice state. Really enjoyed living there until my property became too much work and the winters were getting to me. Again welcome to SSV and don't be afraid to show us what you are doing.

Beautiful work. Timeless tender moment subject. Love the frame...store bought or did you make it also?

Love It, Love It! Can you add a stubby beard and mustache on to your image and loose the ball cap, I never wear one. You would have me to a tee. Glasses, watch on left wrist,, shorts and about the same build. Kidding but not really...would love the pattern. .

I'm adding my WOW. Just wondering, how many individual pieces and what wood di you use?

When you right you right!!!

Yep a TAP is for dispensing beer and FAUCET is what dispenses water into a sink...this is really a HOSE COCk...the plumbing term for that thing that sticks out the side of a foundation or on top of a yard hydrant that you attach the hose to. I agree, spigot is an old word that is not much in use these days.

Is he laughing at the thinking Monkey? Nice work, but I'm curious, why such a big blade? I find the saw kerf on the 2/0 and 0 blades to be big. Have not experimented with the larger spiral blades yet.

YOU CHEATED...NO FINISHING Beautiful work!!!!

I presume ypu have 3 friends/relatives that you made them for. They will love them. We all can do an image like the moose, but good clean letters really show off your abilities. Very nice work. Thanks for sharing
