    Really nice Charley! Love the pattern, love what you did with it. Sometimes there is a great piece of wood buried inside that scrap, hidden under the paint.

    Very nice Frank - very nice pattern and excellent execution of it. I am working at picking out where you used each of the varieties of wood and cannot find the 2 very tiny pieces of Wenge (your words).

    Or, as Bob Ross used to say, "There aren't any mistakes, only happy little accidents." And he would incorporate them into his paintings. Just like with scrolling.

    Me too. I found one Taiwan-made EX-21 clone, a Seyco ST-21, and I bought it. It is smooth as silk but I have not used it yet, it is my back-up saw.

    I sometimes look at Marketplace or Craig's list, search for "Scroll Saw". I look to see what is offered for sale and ask myself "why are so many of those are for sale?" I see lots of the entry level saws, a good many DeWalts and a good many Hawks. I seldom see a Pegas, Seyco, King or, for that matter, any of the Taiwanese manufactured EX clones. And I almost never see a Hagner newer than 20 years old. So I ask "Why?". The answer of course is supply vs demand: the one group has more sellers and the other has more wanting to buy them. People who have a Taiwanese EX clone or a newer Hegner are keeping them.

    @Bob1234 & @heppnerguy, Here is the pattern. Be patient and have fun! The pattern includes the statement "free pattern to copy and share." Let us know how you do with it. Thurman John 3-16.pdf

    You can find the original work on the web. Copy the picture from Kris's original post and do a "Google Image Search". Thank you @Kris Martinson for respecting the original artist's rights.

    Very nice pattern and very good cutting. Is the pattern available?
  9. TAIrving
    It depends on the sizes of the leftover pieces and what you intend to do with them. It is a great price if they are big enough for your purposes.

    Very nice Frank! Very attractive figure and very precise cutting. How big is it? In my experience, Osage Orange browns out quickly. What are you doing to protect the colors?
  11. TAIrving
    I have not had that problem with my Excalibur clone (Pegas). But I suggest that you contact the good folks at Seyco. They seem to have answers for EX related issues as well as a good supply of repair parts.

    Very nice Frank. Where do you get the pattern please. My internet search came up with a defunct link.
  13. TAIrving
    Very nice Kris. Lots of fine detail cutting in that one.
  14. TAIrving
    Very striking piece! And congratulations on the new saw!

    But be very careful that the wood glue stays in the waste area and does not creep into the pattern area. Do not ask how I know this.

    Cute! Will be watching for the butterfly.

    There was some scroll saw work in this. The pieces were too small for a table saw so I cut them to size with the scroll saw. The cross is 12" tall. The woods used are mesquite, red oak and mystery wood, might be maple. Finished with rattle can lacquer.

    I get an email from his blog every day around 6AM. There is an occasional miss which he explains in the next blog, usually due to health issues.

    Thanks John - interesting reading. But I still plan to avoid cutting any such product with my scroll saw. I have plenty of sawdust on the floor and in the air in my shop as it is. (and on my cloths and in my lungs.) I would have to research toxicity, etc before I could consider cutting this, or any other new product. I know that you, John, know this, I add it to my comments for the benefit of those who might not be as experienced and knowledgeable as you. I hope this helps someone to avoid damaging their health.

    Nice bear Dick. I like the table too. Art is art. Intarsia vs segmentation is just an interpretation/category of art.

    Thanks John. I had no plans to cut Trex, or Polywood for that matter, but now know that I will avoid them. Life and woodworking are hazardous enough without inviting additional hazards. I did not know there were 3 types of Trex.
  22. TAIrving
    In my area we have a similar product called Trex.
  23. TAIrving
    +The web says it is artificial wood made of recycled plastic to withstand harsh weather conditions better than real wood. Let us know how it cuts.

    I am not a big baseball fan and do not recognize the players. For me it would help if you could tell us who are the players in the portraits.
  25. TAIrving
    Looks good Frank - thanks for sharing. I see they have weathered gray, aged brown and charred black versions. The charred black probably is like the ebonizer we use. It would be interesting to see how this stuff works on other types of wood.
