Beautiful work Rusty!
I have been thinking about a bowl like that too. I am working on getting two DC systems set up in my shop and it is taking too much time that I don't have. But after I do, I am going to get finally do some scrollwork.
Your path in woodwork is the opposite of mine - I started in pens and recently got a scroll saw (gift from LOML), so I am basically new to SS work. I did some back in the late '80s and early '90s when I was overseas, but it was more of a vibrator than a saw. :wink:

Excellent scroll work. I can see you have been doing this for a while. Circles and ovals are round with no flats, straight features are straight, corners are sharp. Would like a larger picture next time.

From one scroller to another that is mighty fine work. I have been scrolling for over 30 years and love it. It will always be my #1 passion and hobby. Nice variety of cutting with each it's own challenges. What type scroll saw are you using??? Are you putting a finish on your pieces??? Are you set up to sell at any venues?? Thanks for showing and welcome to the site. Maybe you will get to learn another hobby but warn you it can get costly.

Thank you for the kind words. I actually made some pens first but then took a little time off from that because of working too much. Got into scroll sawing a couple of years ago and got bit by the bug hard. I am a member at Scroll Saw Village - A Community Of Scroll Saw Enthusiasts. My name is Sparkey over there. A great forum to join for scroll sawing. Good luck with it I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks John. I recognize your name from Scrollsaw village. I am using a Dewalt 788. The cross has no finish. The bowls get stained then I shoot a clear over that. The fretwork I shoot with a clear to lock in any saw dust that I couldn't get off. If I don't it always comes off after it's framed. I will try a craft show someday but don't have enough stock piled to make it worth it yet.
The bowl is 14.5 inch diameter at the top.

I recognize that name from over there. I have always kept the same name on all sites I visit or else I would forget what to call myself
The work is well done and that is a very good saw. Sure does make scrolling fun and yes it is addictive especially when using good equipment because it is a pleasure and and a relaxing one at that. keep up the good work.
