what blade to use for bass scales - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

I am making this bass ornament from the Berry basket book Holiday Ornaments on page 38. It has about 11 small scales on it and I am wondering what blade to use to get in there. I don't have any small spiral blades. It is out of 1/8 bb birch and I am going to mount it on a heavier backer so it will be more like a shelf display. I blew it up some but they are still small. It tried a puzzle blade and that worked somewhat
Thanks
Bill

Bill, I use a 28 t.p.i. 2/0 flat blade that leaves a very tiny Kerf. There is a 3/0 metal cutting blade but I have never used one. They are both available at Scroll Saw Patterns Plans Books & Blades for your projects - On Sale at Scroller Ltd.
