FrankEV sorry here are some more details This one was cut on reclaimed maple planed down to about 7/16", the panel is about 8x12 but will be cut down some. There's no backer and I'm not sure yet if there will be. I'm planning to stain it.

I had to revisit this cut and this time cut it out of a piece of real wood.

Thanks Dick that's very nice of you to say, it's you and many others that inspire me !

Thanks Sycamore67! It's a Newer Steve Good pattern.

Jerry, I'm pretty new at this and I totally agree with you with the amount of talent on show here. It's a double edged sword always encouraging me to try to raise my standards. Don't take my complaints the wrong way, I really am enjoying my scrollsaw journey, but like anything else practice is required. I'm making silly mistakes and need to slow down and work on my accuracy.

Rafairchild2, thanks! That's my plan actually I've only got a few pieces of this 1/4 BB left and next time I'll try and find some better quality stuff. I've got some hardwood in the garage that needs planing up but I've yet to get round to it

Steve good Christmas tree. Back to basics trying to improve my basic skills,straight lines,smooth curves, sharp points and stuff like that. I've been cutting a lot of fretwork stuff and it's easier to hide your mistakes in the abstract arrangement of holes. I've had a lot of people asking me for Christmas stuff (including her who must be obeyed ) so I'm going to take the opportunity to try to improve this part of my skillset. I'm not happy with this cut but it will paint up ok....practice practice practice

As the title says another fun H Botas pattern, I may try to color this one too. My wife is a RN so I thought it was fitting. A fun cut.

Welcome to SSV from Illinois FYI I'm originally from the Midlands now living in the US.

Scrappile, thanks!! I may have to go to my room too!

Thanks Wichman, Lazy me didn't think to do a reverse image search, thanks for clearing that up!!

Not sure what I think about this? Colors are what I have, so..... Water color may have been better but I only had acrylic. Still have a backer to make, it's just black card behind there right now. With all the delamination I figured it couldn't be any worse

Welcome to SSV from Illinois, it's a great place to relax! I have great memories of Wales, I spent most of my childhood holidays there... I'm a Brit now living in the States .

Thanks Marg!

Thanks I did think about painting it, I do have some acrylic that paints similar to water color. I've been wanting to try it out after I saw your tractor cutting 6 months ago, but summer happened ! I bought the BB sight unseen from Amazon. It was advertised as grade A BB but it has a very thin face layer, unfortunately that's the problem but I've found no voids.
