First commissioned piece - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

dbfly · 11-04-2009, 02:57 PM

This was the first piece I was asked to design and make in exchange for A bunch of wood. Made out of maple Its about 20" wide 26" high and 5/4" thick. It was painstakingly sanded with A belt sander then hand sanded. The piece was A challeng to cut on A 16" saw, I would cut A little bit then have to turn the blade cut A little more an even had to cut backwards to finish some of the letters. The guy was so pleased he gave me all the wood and $50.00. It proudly hangs on the pourch of maple grove cabins. I must say im rather pleased with it to, I guess thats why they call this the bragging page. I hope its worthy of the forum

Great job, looks beautiful.

I would say it is MOST worthy to be on the bragging page. You did a good piece there and the size on a 16" saw proves determination.
