Christmas Plaque - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Carter-Johnson · 09-17-2009, 05:08 PM

I normally post pictures of my puzzles, but I was about to cut a bigger calendar picture which contained this image and stopped before I started, deciding instead to simply cut a rather complex plaque for Christmas. It's about 10 x 5 and should look fine on someone's wall during the holidays.

It's cut from 1/4" poplar and took almost no time (< an hour) to cut.

Just a little item that might give you some ideas.

You did a magnificent job....The cuts are so precise...what blade etc...?

That's what I like about this forum, so many new ideas from some great people. That looks like something I might give a try. Thanks for posting and giving us all the idea.

Very nice indeed Carter.

Mike, the blade is my same old Superior Puzzle blade from Mike's Workshop. That's why I'm able to get the sharp turns..... C

Gosh even at that, I'd have to use the back out and cut back into the V...I seem to get rounded ends...Still need more practice, more practice...Perhaps another 10 years i'll be in your category...
