    Jerry, the answer is in "A SEARCH"

    More important to not leave any beer in the fridge, wax the table, clean your saw and cover it. Remove the blade? Only important because you will forget what blade is in your saw.

    Cherry (American Black) Wood Characteristics Color: Rich, reddish-brown. Cherry darkens considerably with age and exposure to sunlight. Grain: Straight-grained and satiny. Small gum pockets produce distinctive markings. Qualities: Light, strong, stiff and rather hard. Cherry's grain is more subdued than some other hardwood species, with very interesting character. Uses: Cherry is used in Scroll Saw Village, cabinetry, furniture, fine furnishings, flooring, paneling, doors, moulding, and turnings. Finishing Cherry: Cherry is unsurpassed in its finishing qualities-its uniform texture takes a finish very well. Easy to work, fine textured, strong and fairly durable. Becomes darker and richer with age. Reddish brown with a golden luster. Freshly cut cherry is often very pale, but the wood oxidizes to its famously favorable rich brown red in time. Colonial furniture makers called cherry "New England Mahogany" because of its tendency to turn dark red-brown after exposure to sunlight,

    Marg, Good question and 'YES' is the answer. I don't know what to compare it to for you. For me, it is an excellent wood, easy to work, fine textured, strong and beautiful especially with a finish. If you ever order any, you will like it.

    A negative to cutting with a Forstner is the wood dust and chips created... II don't like cleaning it up.

    This is Cherry - 15 1/4" x 5 1/2" x 1/2 thick. Backer is 1/4" ply. Cut with a .026" x .013" #2 Two coats of BLO (will apply lacquer later) Thank you Smitty! An easy to cut pattern. I enjoy these Intersecting Word patterns. Elaborate yet simple, meaningful and nice looking. I like it.

    Nice cut on the pattern and it is nice when you have four when you're done. Hip Hip !!

    We bantered this over a few months ago. Don't remember if there was a real cure or panacia. I was told to use a blow dryer on the conxex side. If you take it out...WILL IT COME BACK?

    You are right, I could route it and probably look good. I have had glitches routing it before. Hollow spots in the core sometimes. Not too late, I still could. ... Hummm
  20. LarryEA
    Yes I did route the edge of the Cherry one but could not do the Oak because it is a 1/4" pressboard sandwiched between thin Oak plywood. Didn't think the Oak would look ok routed.
  21. LarryEA
    Have to thank you also. Saw what you did and thought it so nice that I wanted one. So, Thank you Marg.

    If you have dull or cheap Forstner bits that have a tough time cutting, then just use the Forstner bit to mark where you will scroll saw your hole.
