Being a pretty new person here I thought I'd show a picture of something I scrolled a little while back. I've only done scrolling in conjunction with other projects. Never has done just a scroll saw project. I use a scroll saw on these little cigar box ukuleles. The sound hole covers was scrolled. The turtle one was further shaped with a dremel tool. It is all one piece. The flower on the thingy the strings are fasten to (hate getting old can't remember the name) was scrolled also. I don't know if you can see the kokopelli in the second one, picture is pretty dark, but I drew him playing a ukulele instead of a flute. Hope to get much more serious about scrolling in the near future.

Great job! 8)
I'm so glad that you have discovered that scroll saw work can be used in a variety of other wood working projects! As an add on or embellishment or even complete projects.
Last winter, I did a full size electric guitar body out of cedar. I robbed the neck and electronics from a cheap guitar but, I cut the shape of the body out with my scroll saw. ;)

Okay, I'll add one more project that I did some scrolling on just to add a little decoration to the mix. This is the back of a hand crank organ I built. It was pretty plan looking so I took the panel off a did a little scrolling on it.

The turtle one has not be played buy a "player" yet. I cannot play. The Kokopelli one has been play extensively by real uke players and gets very high praise. Fact I have requests for three if I ever get around to making them. I have to be in the mood, or I just can't get to it.

I don't play guitar either but,my son and grandson do and they liked the way it played I guess. Of course with an electric guitar it is mostly in the pick-up's and amp used than anything to do with the construction of the body.
By the way, because I'm a bit crazy :P and will try anything twice, I couldn't leave well enough alone. So I also made a "rat-tar".....
"Rat-rods" seem to be the hot automotive thing these days so why not a "rat-tar"? :P

I used a piece of 2" x 10" pine and actually spent money for the hardware and strap! ;D ;D
It gets a lot of smiles and comments anyway. 8)
