Mr. & Mrs. C - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

The guide for assemblers of this puzzle should read "Can you put Mr. and Mrs. Cardinal back in their neighborhood?"

I decided to just cut the two birds out on their own and cut the puzzle of 254 pieces around them. The total picture is about 13 x 11"

Just something a little different.

Have phun.... Carter

You are having entirely too much fun...LOL
Another great puzzle thanks for sharing.
BTW.
Thanks for the tips earlier in e-mail.
I was out making some more sawdust and it worked, With the exception of using some cheap plywood for a backer and it grabbing my blades. I was just practicing so it was no real biggie but gosh that gets frustrating when you can't keep the blade from wandering. I removed the backer and no further problems, except a few more fuzzies...Anyway didn't mean to hijack your thread, just wanted to say thanks for the tips on finger control.

Very nice, Carter! I think having the two large birds separate is a nice touch. Always glad to see you having phun!

Remarkable puzzle Carter.

Looks great as usual, guess you've got to try something new once in a while to spice things up.

funny, Shawn.......

I don't know why you inserted the "Happy Days" photo, but there is a connection because, many years ago, my close friend was in the cast of "Fiorello" on Broadway, starting Tom Boisley. My friend was married in NYC (his bride was also in the show) and I ushered Tom down the aisle.

Back to the puzzle, I forgot to mention that each petal of the sunflowers is cut into a piece on its own.

more phun..... Carter

Wow! That's quite the claim to fame, Carter. It's funny how chance encounters occur in our lives.

I inserted the picture because that is Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham. "The Fonz" always called them "Mr. and Mrs. C." in the show.

I did notice the sunflower petals, myself. When I first saw the front, I was looking for your color-line cutting, and found the petals later when looking at the back. Really nice job!
