Seeing your skill level with a scroll saw have you thought of just doing a plain pendant and then scrolling a flower or some other design into it Jon?
Either way..keep up the good work.

I like it!
I've been thinking about something along the same lines, but I don't know that I have the skill (or the saw) to pull off what I want to do.

Hi, I have another question. I was wondering what type of finish you are using on the wooden pendants? What do you do to the backs? I am also having a problem with the pendant coming off the double back tape before I am finished turning and drilling it. I am using the turners DB tape I purchase from wood craft. Any advice????

The back side is flatter, although I try to curve all the way around. I use Golf club industry standard double sided grip tape. Golfworks.com has the stuff.

Thanks for the info. Nice work by the way. What type of finish are you using CA, or hard wax?

I put on a coat of shellac and then some wipe on poly.

I really llike your pendants and the others I've seen. I purchased one of the pendant backer plate things but need help on how they are used. Has someone posted instructions on how they are used/ Sign me confused. If insturctions have been posted I must have missed them.

I would like to think of it as my 'softer' side or 'gentler' side. :wink:

Hi, another question for those of you who have been making these pendants for awhile. I see many complete the backs first. When do you drill the hole? Do you drill it first then finish the piece and the hole or do you drill the hole last? Do any of you polish the pieces using a beal system, or a regular buffer?

I sand the front then the back, then finish the back, then drill the hole and finish the front. I do not polish with buffer.
