NEOS 2012... Best in Show - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

SawTooth · 05-09-2012, 05:48 AM

My new project, which I call "Wavy Ribbon" is a brand new type of scroll saw project... it was well received at NEOS in Ritchfield, OH last weekend... it received "Best in Show". It was inspired by the art of Malcom Tibbets, who is renowned as a woodturner. I devised a method to make this using only the scroll saw. (I don't have a lathe.)

It was a well-deserved award! I was there, and the photos don't do the work justice!

WOW! That is one terrific piece of work. And once again proves that really great stuff can be done with the scroll saw.

The pictures do not do it proper justice. I saw this piece up close and in person at the picnic and it was one of those Oh man now that is truly a work of art. How did they do that? moments. Awesome work. Glad I got to see that one in person. The Best of Show was well deserved.

Thank you...
Technically, I'd say the result is brand new to scrolling, but I didn't invent much that is new.

I made a circle cutting jig for my scroll saw. In principle it is like a circle cutting jig for a band saw, with a fixed base and a pivot on a sliding base.

Because the bowls would be too tall to cut in half on the scroll saw, and because I wanted the wood cutting to be 100% on the scroll saw, I used the circle cutting jig to make half-bowls.

This project is made up of 6 half-bowls, cut at a 45 degree bevel angle.
