First time using a scrollsaw , and first time cutting and gluing a blank using aluminum . The wood is Danish Bog Oak from Neil (wolftat) I put it on a two-tone Sierra . Finished with CA MMto 12000 ,and polished with Meguires Plast X then Renwax .Thanks to Keith (VisExp) , Steve (Akbar) and Dave (djwood1) for the help and inspiration . Like I told our local guys at the meeting , I won't be making many of these . :redface: But I just had to try one . I have the one Dave and Kenny Mayes made at our last meeting . It is sweet . Thanks Dave for doing the tutorial . Thanks again all , for looking .

BTW:
Did you ever turn the Bog Yew after??

Thanks Jim !

Thank you Keith ! I really need you to open these posts . Gives me encouragement ! :biggrin: I don't recall turning any Bog Yew . I'll have to look . Thanks again !
 
Very nice Chuck! You did a great job for your first one, now keep going! Start designing different layouts and have a blast with segmenting! Let me know how I can help you out, my friend!

Nice find! Must of been a fair think kerf blade, as most of my scroll blades take out more than a soda-can thickness!

Phil , I checked with a test cut , and the metal slid right into it perfectly . But this is thicker than a soda can . Guess you might call it dumb luck . :biggrin::biggrin:
 
Chuck, as you know, I have always been straight with you about things, this one is okay, but stopping now would be a mistake. I like the way it looks and think you should reconsider about making more. There is room for some improvement and it gets easier as you do more.

:biggrin: Thanks Neil , I appreciate that . I DO have a couple of ideas , so there will definately be more . Your Danish Bog Oak works great with the metal . Thanks for the encouragement .

DO try again . Believe me , if I can do it , you can too . It helps if you have a vice . I used a two inch C-clamp . :biggrin: Thanks for looking !

Thanks CS ! They ARE interesting , and FUN too I suppose . I want to make more patterns , if I can get WORD figured out . :rolleyes: :redface: In the meantime , I'll try this one again , and see if I can do a better job . I received a tip about scrollsawing , that may help .
 
Looks WAY better than my first attempt...or my second...or my third. All of which ended up in various areas of my shop (and may never be found again). But I keep on keepin' on.
